Afrobeats Artistes Are Now On Same Level With Drake – Davido [Video]

Nigerian superstar, Davido claims that Afrobeat artists are now on the same level with international music icons like Drake.

“Afrobeats Artists are selling the same tickets as Drake. Now one song as an afrobeat artist can change your generation,” he said.
