Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that global music icon Rihanna is an artiste he would like to collaborate with, describing the possibility of working together as an exciting musical opportunity.
Davido made the revelation during a live interview on Twitch, where he talked about the artists he admires and the potential for future international collaborations.
According to the singer, collaboration with Rihanna would create beautiful music, noting that he respects her artistry and global influence.
However, Davido admitted that such a partnership may not happen soon as Rihanna has shifted most of her attention to her highly successful Fenty Beauty and fashion business.
Rihanna, who remains one of the world’s most influential artists, has not released a full studio album since her 2016 project Anti as she continues to focus on expanding her business empire.
The two artists have previously expressed mutual appreciation, with Rihanna publicly praising Davido’s music. She once revealed that his hit “Unavailable” featuring Musa Keys was one of her favorite tracks.
One of Africa’s biggest music exports, Davido continues to strengthen his global presence through collaborations with international artists including Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby and DaBaby.
The collaboration between Davido and Rihanna will bring together two internationally recognized music stars with strong influences in different parts of the world.
