Davido believes his Sony Music Deal will go very well unlike the GOOD Music deal Don Jazzy and D’Banj signed with Kanye West. Davido first of all said he doesn’t want to be Don Jazzy, who was in the same room with 10 other producers including Kanye West. “I don’t want that to be me,” he told The Fader.
“I wanna be that one African nigga, where it’s like, ‘Call that African nigga. Let’s get him on the hook.’”
He also firmly believes his American background gives him an edge unlikeDon Jazzy and D’Banj. “I can be in the club with Meek Mill and Future and be on a level with them,” he says. “I understand what they’re talking about. I know what the trap is. These are things that some of these other guys, they don’t have it. They can’t have these conversations with the rappers, so how can they have them with the (American) fans?”
When asked if whether he thinks the world is ready for a Nigerian superstar, he said “Of course they’re ready,”. “They just might not know what that’s going to look like.”
David also said he knows the kind of song that will be accepted in the US. “I know what kind of songs work. The music should have everything in it—Jamaican, African, American, everything. Something like Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba,’ it has a cool feel to it.” he said.
