Nigerian music megastar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has stated that he now costs $600,000 (N466. 5m) each gig. According to the multiple award winner, he only accepts four engagements per month because not everyone can pay his charge.
The Unavailable singer also stated that he rarely makes business decisions without informing his crew. He revealed this during a conversation with Zahir Jooma, co-owner of the popular Icebox jewelry boutique.
Davido, who costs in US dollars, revealed that if he performs at four performances in a month, he earns between $2 million and $3 million. “I mean, now shows are $600,000,” the singer explained. It is now less. Actually. Because fewer individuals can afford to pay. $2 million to $3 million if I do four performances in a month.”
The pop sensation is now riding high on the popularity of his afrobeat album, Timeless, which was published on March 31. Timeless, the 30-year-old singer’s fourth album, has received critical acclaim since its debut.
Davido was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. As a member of the ensemble KB International, he made his musical debut. Davido attended Oakwood University for business administration before dropping out to produce beats and record vocal references. He later graduated from Babcock University.
He rose to prominence after releasing “Dami Duro,” the second single from his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo (2012), from which six other songs were taken: “Back When,” “Ekuro,” “Overseas,” “All of You,” “Gbon Gbon,” and “Feel Alright.” Davido got the Next Rated award at The Headies in 2012.
