You might be considering that Davido Sony Music deal is fake or what?, it official Davido signed recording deal with Son Music, but he's not first African to inked that global deal.

Though many people wrongly mentioned D’banj who is only signed to the regional company, Sony Music Africa, while other African acts who had actually clinched the global deal with Sony BMG, and they include South Africa’s Nathan Ro of Lonehill Estate musical group who won Project Fame in South Africa, Tanzania’s Nakaaya Sumari, Congolese Natalie Makoma, among others.

A Big shout out to D'banj and Davido for making Afro-beat genres of music known to the world.
