Popular Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, has said that his influence in Nigeria's music business is underappreciated.
Even though he has been a steady presence in the music industry for fifteen years, he feels underappreciated, he said.
"I have been conquering the music industry for 15 years, but the crazy thing is that people don't give me my flowers [credits] that I deserve," Davido remarked in a recent interview with Lagos-based content creator Egungun.
Egungun implied, "Do you think there are people who dislike you?"
"There are haters, but people love me no matter where I go, so I'm like, where are the haters?" Davido responded.
Davido may feel underappreciated, yet he is actually one of the most decorated musicians in Africa and Nigeria.
At the 17th annual Headies Awards, which took place in Lagos not long ago, he was named Artist of the Year.
During the event, he was also named the year's best digital artist.
