Music star, Davido, recently declared that Afrobeats artistes are now on the same level as international music giants like Drake.

The Nigerian music star sat at a panel discussion and indicated that Afrobeats artistes are now selling out shows and generating enormous revenue, comparable to their pop and hip-hop counterparts.

His words: “Afrobeats artists are now selling the same tickets as Drake. One song as an Afrobeats artiste can change your generation.”
