During a panel discussion with the United States Advisory Council on Africa Diaspora Engagement and leaders in Nigeria’s creative industries, Davido highlighted the tremendous growth of Afrobeats. He emphasised that Afrobeat artistes are now selling out shows and generating significant revenue, rivalling their pop and hip-hop counterparts.
“Afrobeats artistes are now selling the same tickets as Drake. One song as an Afrobeats artiste can change your generation,” Davido stated.
He underscored that the earnings from an Afrobeats single could translate into generational wealth, demonstrating the genre’s impactful rise in global popularity.
