Davido just gave insight on the collaborations of renowned American artists on ‘A Better Time.’
The Nigerian entertainer’s latest album features American titan Nas and Davido attributes this surprise to the Grace of God.
In an interview with Reece Parkinson on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Davido breaks down how he met Nas by chance and how quickly the meeting blossomed into ‘Birthday Cake’, a song on his album.
To quote him:
“Everything in this album really just happened with the Grace of God and it was just luck. I was at on of Hitboy’s studios working and I’m like ‘let me go to the bathroom real quick’. I use the bathroom and as I come out I’m washing my hands and I look to my right and I just see Nas. True story!
He was like ‘Are you Davido?’ and I’m like ‘Yeah’. It was crazy. I went back to the studio recording and I look behind me and just see Nas comes in the studio, he’s bumping his head. I asked ‘Do you think you can give me a verse?’ and he agreed. 15 minutes later the verse was done. Two days later we shot the video and it was amazing.”
