Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has dismissed plans to incorporate Western sounds to appeal to international audiences.

Naija News reports that Davido made this known during an interview on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show with Eddie Kadi.

Davido, who candidly spoke about his journey in the music industry, said he has achieved so much in his career, performing across the world and receiving accolades, including back-to-back multiple Grammy nominations in the last three years.

The ‘OBO’ crooner maintained that he is satisfied with his achievements and is currently focusing on his roots by making unapologetic African music, and urged fans to look out for the next phase of his career.

He said, “This part of my career, I have performed everywhere, sold out every arena, I have been to three Grammys in the last three years. The music that is coming next is very Davido, it is very African. We have done it so I am not really looking to really do western sounds.”

The singer also spoke the support he enjoys from his South African fans, claiming that “80 per cent” of the citizens of South Africa know him and love his music.

Davido has collaborated with several South African artists over the years and have received multiple certifications from the country’s music industry.
