Davido raises alarm over declining demand for Nigerian artistes abroad over what he described as a noticeable decline in the international demand for Nigerian artistes, urging veteran musicians to consider returning home in the coming years.
Davido spoke during a podcast session with The Uncut Podcast, where he reflected on the changing fortunes of Nigerian artistes performing in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The singer said he hoped to see veteran Nigerian artistes return to the country within the next decade, suggesting that some Nigerian musicians may be experiencing a level of familiarity in international markets.
“In the next 10 years I want the music OGs to come back to Nigeria. There is already ‘see finish’ in London, America, honestly,” he said.
Davido compared the current situation with what he described as the state of the Nigerian music industry three years ago, when he said many artistes could headline shows in London and sell out venues.
“Three years ago at least 20 artists can come to London and do show and get sold out, but now I can count maybe four or five and we all know them. We can all see the shift,” he said.
