Afrobeats superstar Davido has raised concerns over what he described as a noticeable shift in the international demand for Nigerian artistes, urging veteran musicians to consider returning to Nigeria in the coming years.
Speaking during a podcast session with The Uncut Podcast, Davido reflected on the changing fortunes of Nigerian artistes performing in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The singer said he hopes to see the industry’s veteran stars return home within the next decade, suggesting that Nigerian artistes may be experiencing a level of familiarity in international markets.
“In the next 10 years I want the music OGs to come back to Nigeria. There is already ‘see finish’ in London, America, honestly.”
Davido also compared the current situation with what he said was the case three years ago, when he claimed that many Nigerian artistes could headline shows in London and sell out venues.
“Three years ago at least 20 artists can come to London and do show and get sold out, but now I can count maybe 4 or 5 and we all know them. We can all see the shift.”
