Famous Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has claimed that he gets special treatment around the world due to his status as a celebrity.
The Afrobeats star claimed that he receives invites to presidential dinners in every country he goes to except for the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
Speaking during a recent interview with Kiss Fresh London, Davido boasted that his fanbase includes the World Bank president, presidents of powerful nations, and other powerful people.
“Every country we go to, the President invites us for dinner except London [United Kingdom] and the United States of America.
“It’s beautiful to see. I mean, leaving my country, Nigeria, and people welcoming me like the president in other countries, shows how well Nigeria is doing around the world in terms of music and cultural impacts,” he said.
Davido said he is most respected in Africa, stressing that it’s why he loves his African tours more than European and American tours despite making more money in the Western world.
He said his Jamaican counterpart, YG Marley was shocked by the kind of love his fans have for him when he visited Nigeria recently for the video shoot of their collaborative hit ‘Awuke.’
