Popular Nigerian musician Davido has stated that American rappers Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj respect Africans.
Davido explained that both artists have a deep appreciation for the continent’s music and culture.
He stated this in a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM in Atlanta.
The singer said that Chris and Nicki prefer incorporating Afrobeats into their collaborations with him rather than sticking to Western styles.
He said, “My recent collaboration with Nicki Minaj, ‘If It’s Okay,’ has a lot of Afrobeats influence because she wanted full African flavor on it. These days, foreign artists want to do our musical styles, so it is easier for me to work with them.
“When we were recording ‘Sensational’ with Chris Brown, I was trying to make it American, but he insisted I include Afrobeats. He asked me to sing in Pidgin. My dancers were the video vixens in ‘Sensational.’ They even went on tour with Chris Brown. Chris Brown loves African culture, and Nicki does too.”
Chris Brown has collaborated with numerous African artists, including Davido, Wizkid, Rema, Fireboy, and Lojay. He has also toured with Ayra Starr and South Africa’s Tyla.
Nicki Minaj has worked with Mr. Eazi, Davido,and Skales.
