Davido credits D'banj's 'Oliver Twist' for paving way for Nigerian artistes globally

In an interview with Apple Music, Davido revealed that D’banj’s 2012 hit single Oliver Twist inspired him to focus on African music and embrace his cultural heritage.

“D’banj was my first vision of a Nigerian artist taking over the world,” Davido said. “No one in America was booking Nigerian artists for shows, but that changed when I saw Kanye West in D’banj’s ‘Oliver Twist’ video on YouTube.”
