‘There’s See Finish In London, America’ — Davido Tells Nigerian Artistes To Prioritize Home Shows

Afrobeats superstar Davido has urged established Nigerian artistes to focus more on performing in Nigeria, saying the international market is no longer as strong as it used to be.

Davido made the remarks during an interview on The Uncut Podcast while discussing the changing global demand for Nigerian music.

The singer observed that audiences in the United Kingdom and the United States have become more familiar with Nigerian artistes, which he believes has reduced the excitement surrounding Nigerian acts in those markets.

He said he hopes major Nigerian artistes will return home and perform more frequently over the next decade.

“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 said.

He also compared the current situation with what obtained a few years ago, noting that fewer Nigerian artistes are now able to independently sell out major venues abroad.

“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,” he stated.

Davido’s comments highlight the growing changes in the international market for Afrobeats as Nigerian music continues to expand globally.
