Just kidding!
Davido doesn’t really care whether you pronounce his name with a D as in Dave or D as in Daniel. He is cool with either.
The singer made this known during a sat down with Hot 97 host, Nessa. According to Nessa, there had been a debate on the correct way to pronounce his name and so she wanted Davido to clarify it, which he did, with the caveat that he is at peace with the two different forms.
Davido also talked about how crazy it is that his music is recognised internationally as coming from Africa when he and his siblings were all born and grew up in Atlanta, America. According to Davido, it is “a great feeling that Americans are celebrating me for being Africa.”
Asked if he is enjoying all that, Davido couldn’t confirm that saying because he is working on his current album. “I’m taking it in little by little,” he says “because it keeps getting bigger and bigger so I was like I don’t know what to expect and I can’t be excited now.”
“So, there’s work to do,” Nessa quips. And Davido agrees. “A lot of work to do,” he says.
Davido also confirms he would be bringing Chris Brown to Nigerian for his annual 30 Billion concerts. He also expounded a little more on how the friendship between and Chris brown was formed after Chris liked his song, Assurance and a mutual friend Hoodie connected the two.
Meanwhile, despite Davido’s manager, Asa Asika, saying they have a name for the album, A Good Time, Davido says they have not quite arrived at a consensus name for the album.
Asked if he had agreed on a name for the album, David answers:
“Well, it is between two names and we don’t really wanna jinx it.”
“Oh, so nobody knows what it is,?” asks Nessa.
