Nigerian Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has explained why he is the most-followed African artist across social media.
The With You hitmaker explained that being open-minded and interacting with fans made him garner more followers than his colleagues.
He claimed that a lot of his colleagues are scared to show their real selves on social media.
In a recent conversation with BET Talks, Davido said, Im the most-followed African artist across social media because Im free with my fans. In the beginning of my career, I was very open. I used to do vlogs, showing people my life. A lot of Nigerian and African artists are always scared to show their real selves.
I think living in America helped me a lot, too. Because my mind is kind of open a little bit. Im not saying my people are ignorant. But lets see them other artists taking pictures in shorts and slippers while chilling in their homes. Some artists wont do that. They would want to change to something benefiting. But I still see myself as a regular person. I take pictures in shorts and slippers. And when its time to turn up, trust me, I turn up.
