Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, known as Davido, has asserted that Odumodublvck is presently the most prominent rapper in Nigeria.
This assertion was made during a conversation about his forthcoming album and its lead single on the American podcast, The Baller Alert Show.
Davido announced that his next album is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2025.
Additionally, he mentioned that he will soon unveil another lead single titled ‘Funds,’ which features both Odumodublvck and Chike.
“I will be releasing my new album next year. I’m trying to make real African records. I have another lead single coming out soon titled ‘Funds.’ It’s featuring the current biggest rapper in Nigeria, Odumodublvck, and Chike. Chike is the Bryson Tiller of Nigeria,” he said.
In related news, Davido has disclosed that his American peers, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj, hold a profound respect for Africa.
He emphasized that both musicians possess a significant appreciation for the continent’s music and cultural heritage.
In a recent interview with Hot 107.9 FM in Atlanta, Davido noted that both Brown and Minaj prefer to integrate Afrobeats into their collaborations with him, rather than adhering solely to Western musical styles.
“My recent collaboration with Nicki Minaj, ‘If It’s Okay,’ has a lot of Afrobeats influence because she wanted full African flavor on it. These days, foreign artists want to do our musical styles, so it is easier for me to work with them,” he said.
“When we were recording ‘Sensational’ with Chris Brown, I was trying to make it American, but he insisted I include Afrobeats. He asked me to sing in Pidgin. My dancers were the video vixens in ‘Sensational.’ They even went on tour with Chris Brown. Chris Brown loves African culture, and Nicki does too.”
Chris Brown has partnered with various African artists, including Davido, Wizkid, Rema, Fireboy, and Lojay, and has toured with Ayra Starr and South Africa’s Tyla.
Nicki Minaj has collaborated with Mr. Eazi, Davido, and Skales.
