Nigerian superstar singer, Davido, has stated that unlike in the past, the Afrobeats is now a million-dollar industry.
The ‘Unavailable’ crooner said the African music industry back then when he started and now is not the same.
He noted that afrobeats has grown from a poorly-funded industry to a multi-billion dollar industry.
Davido covered the first-ever edition of the Native Now Magazine.
He said afrobeats artists now are not only making millions of dollars but also changing lives and communities.
He said:
“Afrobeats now and then is different, it’s a multi-billion dollar industry.
“You can’t compare it to years ago when we were just faffing around.
“We were making amazing music and a lot of money but now people are changing communities, changing lives.”
