Nigerian singer and billionaire heir Davido has opened up about his past collaborations with international artists Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj in a recent interview.

Before talking about Nicki Minaj, Davido shared that during his collaboration with Chris Brown on their hit song, the American singer encouraged him to use his African accent, despite Davido's attempts to adopt an American accent. According to Davido, Chris Brown told him to "speak with your African accent, it's cool." Davido's willingness to take Chris Brown's advice paid off, as the song earned him a Grammy nomination.

Davido also credited himself with introducing Lojay to Chris Brown, which led to Lojay's first Grammy nomination. In a lighthearted jab, Davido joked about how Lojay achieved a Grammy nomination in just four years, while he has been in the industry for 14 years with only two nominations.

Additionally, Davido revealed that Nicki Minaj gave him 30 minutes of her time on the phone as they discussed a new collaborative project. Davido emphasized that 30 minutes is a significant amount of time for someone of Nicki Minaj's stature, implying that it's proof of the respect she has for him as an artist.

Davido's recent interview has given fans a glimpse into his experiences collaborating with international artists and his reflections on his own career milestones.

American singer Chris Brown has publicly thanked Nigerian superstar Wizkid for inviting him to perform at his 2021 O2 Arena concert, marking Brown's first UK show in over a decade.

In a video shared by Luthortv, Brown referred to Wizkid as his "brother for life" and recounted the generous gesture that left a lasting impression.

"Wizkid invited me to my biggest stage in the UK in 10 years. I had been performing all around America and had not gone there for any show before," Brown said.

Also, he revealed that Wizkid not only invited him to share the stage but also covered all his expenses.

"One day, Wiz called and told me he was getting everything set for me to come to his O2 Arena concert. He paid for everything, and I was wowed. Wizkid is my brother for life," Brown emotionally stated.

Meanwhile, Brown's absence from the UK stage dated back to 2009, following a ban imposed after his guilty plea for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna.

Additionally, the 2021 O2 Arena concert, where Wizkid brought Chris Brown on stage, marked a significant moment in his career, breaking the UK performance drought.

Lastly, Chris Brown's continued thanks shows the profound impact of Wizkid's support on his career. Also, it shows their enduring friendship built on mutual respect and love for music.
