‘Every venue will sell out’ — I will demand $500,000 if I tour with Wizkid - Davido

Afrobeats singer, Davido has said a joint tour with Wizkid would sell out venues worldwide, revealing that he would demand $500,000 for each show.

Davido made the statement during an appearance on the IONWANNATALK show while discussing the possibility of recording music and touring with his colleague.

He, however, expressed uncertainty about whether a joint song with Wizkid would become a hit, citing the collaboration between D’banj and 2Baba as an example.

“If Wizkid and I do a song together, I don’t know if it will pop because when D’banj and 2Baba did a record together, it didn’t really pop,” Davido said.

But he was more confident about the prospect of touring together, saying: “If we tour together, I’ll ask for $500,000 per show because I know every venue will sell out.”

The singer also said he and Wizkid had not recorded a song together in about 10 years, explaining that their failure to collaborate was not because they were unable to work together.

Davido said he had not been in the same mental space with Wizkid, adding that people had different opinions about whether their rivalry had made them bigger or whether working together would boost their careers.

He also spoke about moving past disagreements, saying it takes maturity for someone to admit when their feelings have changed.

“I felt that way at some point but not anymore, and it takes a great man to do that,” he said.
