David Adeleke, also known as Davido, a multiple award-winning Afrobeats musician, has insisted that Canadian rapper Drake was instrumental in bringing Afrobeats to the worldwide spotlight.
Davido stated this when addressing questions on the Bootleg Kev Podcast, which was published on Tuesday.
He said, “There are always narratives like, “Oh, Afrobeats was definitely huge before Drake” but Drake is Drake, so I’d be lying if I said he didn’t put some spotlight on Afrobeats, and you know it was dope.
“He has made some dope records,” the singer added.
Drake has featured in a few Afrobeat songs, some of which are Wikzid’s ‘come closer’ and ‘Ojuelegba Remix’ including Tems’ Fountains.
