He also praised African innovation in the music and film industries, noting that platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime increasingly feature African stories and content.
“When you come on Netflix, you will see about two Nigerian movies in the top 10. Africa is next, trust me,” he added.
Davido emphasised that Africans bring exceptional creativity and talent to the table, citing his experience with his record label, Sony Music. “Africans bring the best ideas. That shows that our imagination is off the grid,” he said.
