I Spent Almost N1bn On My Last Album — Davido by ijustdey: 12:07pm On Apr 09, 2023
Nigerian afrobeat superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has disclosed that he spent a staggering $2 million (almost one billion naira) on his third studio album ‘A Better Time’.

The singer said this during his media tour for his new album ‘Timeless’ in the United States.

Speaking on the Ebro in the Morning Show on Hot 97FM, New York, the OBO crooner explained that the figure covered features, videos, and promotions.

He revealed he spent more on his third album than his current one ‘Timeless’ yet has already made more money from it.

He said, “My last album, I will tell you, I probably spent $2 million. That is for everything. You know what I’m saying?

“I haven’t even spent $300k on this album [Timeless]. And I made more already in three days. It just shows me the level of where African music is going.”

Davido’s third studio album ‘A Better Time’ was released in 2020 with guest features from American heavyweights such as Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Summer Walker.

Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Summer Walker.

You spent huge amount on your last album to feature washed up foreign artist undecided

Music is business. Africa to the world!

It is well...

He'll make more than that from streams alone.

Don't even get me started with shows he'll be booked to perform those album songs, movie that might buy one of his song (Unfortunately, Nollywood don't use African music's for movies that much)

But, he'll sure recover that amount and make huge gain.

Maybe Lil Baby and Chris, but not Nicki. He said he got the Nicki verse for free. She asked him not to pay

Wow Nicki is a real one for that.

I have always loved Davido but watching his recent interviews it seems he is coming out of quietness with a little bit of pride we never knew him with. OBO we love you the humble way you are, stay there.
