Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, often known as Davido, who has won numerous awards, claims that Canadian rapper Drake was instrumental in bringing Afrobeats into the public eye on a global scale.
This was said by Davido while responding to inquiries in an interview with Bootleg Kev Podcast that was released 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.
