Davido noted that  even though he overcame the difficult time following his son’s passing, he still sheds tears over it every morning.

He said: “I miss him every day, there’s tears coming out of my eyes every morning, you don’t have to see it,

“I look at myself in the mirror and I said apart from it just being about me, I know how many people love me, I know how many people are depending on me.

“My son up there is looking down at me. Apart from me being strong for his mom, which is my primary responsibility, I have to be strong for the world.

“A lot of people thought the album was just going to be a lot of sad songs, we gave them bangers on bangers.

“My son is dancing and my mom is dancing in heaven. So for people to see that it’s possible to stand up again and be able to work, it’s only God.

“Those were one of the things that and my wife relied on, God is real. Then everything just aligned back, we performed better, business is better.”

David Adeleke, the world-famous Nigerian-American singer, also known as Davido, has made a revelation.

He revealed that carrying the blue passport has made travelling overseas easier for him.

He said when some of his band members are having difficulties with Visa approval, he always have an edge because of his American passport.

The Atlanta-born singer said the American passport was worth more than a million dollars.

He stated this in a recent interview with Omega.

Davido, however, expressed pride in his Nigerian nationality.

“That part of my life [being born abroad] didn’t come out until I blew up. People thought I live in Nigeria. It was later on in my career that people realised that I did Alabama college and stuff like that.

“It wasn’t like I was introduced as an American artist in Nigeria. I’ve been in the streets back home. The only thing is that I could fly anytime I wanted, like go to America anytime I wanted.

“Till date, I don’t care how much money you’ve got, that blue passport is worth more than a million Dollars.

“For example, we were going to Australia for a tour, to get the structure is so hard because some of my band members were having difficulties in getting the papers just because of their passports.

“But obviously, it’s kind of easier for me because of the blue passport,” he said.

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.

“We were making amazing music and a lot of money but now people are changing communities, changing lives.”

Afrobeats star,  Davido, has said he would be overjoyed if he wins a Grammy.

He, however, maintained that he didn’t release his latest album, ‘Timeless’ with the intention of winning awards.

Davido started this in a recent interview with Brut.

The ‘Dami Duro’ crooner said he is a digital artiste, but for his collaboration with The Cavemen and Grammy-award winning Beninese legend, Angélique Kidjo ‘Na Money’, he had to do a live record.

He said, “I was happy that I was out of my space and able to deliver that song [‘Na Money’]. Because I’m a digital artist; I record music digitally.

“But for that song [‘Na Money’], we had to record it live because The Cavemen record live.”

He continued, “If I win a Grammy, I will be happy, but I didn’t make this album [‘Timeless’] because I wanted to win anything.

“I made this album going into it, you know, happy, natural, you know what I’m saying!”
