Nigerian singer, David Adedeji Adeleke popularly known as Davido expressed gratitude to Angelique Kidjo, Beninese singer, songwriter, and activist, for collaborating with artistes across Africa.
Gatekeepers News reports that David thanked the five-time Grammy Award winner during a recent Instagram live session with her.
The ‘Assurance’ crooner revealed that he used to travel to Benin with his parents when he was a child, adding that he grew up listening to Kidjo’s songs.
Davido also appreciated her for working with him and his colleagues in Africa.
He said, “They don’t know that since when I was little I have been going to Cotonou, Benin with my dad and mum.”
“Yeah I’m close and I have a lot of families in Benin as well. We’ve always listened to your music and we grew up listening to your music.”
“And what I love about what you do is that a lot of people disconnect from what is currently going on in the world.”
“You have always been available for us, I mean my colleagues and you have worked with Stonebwoy and people in other countries like South Africa and Kenya.”
“For you to always bless me and always answer everytime I call, I love that and I appreciate you. Even before the record, you and I have always spoken about how the world needs healing.”
Angelique Kidjo had last week, featured Davido in a single titled ‘Joy’.
Their first collaborative song was ‘Na Money’, a part of Davido’s ‘Timeless’ album released in 2023, also featuring The Cavemen.
