Famous singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido has boasted that he is the leader of the Afrobeats genre globally.

In a recent interview with Billboard’s Nadine Graham, the DMW boss interrupted the interviewer after he referred to him as leader of Afrobeats in the United States, saying he is leading “everywhere.”

Davido said as global leader of Afrobeats, he wants people to look forward to “Just good music. And it’s crazy, because people in jail have heard my music.”

The singer disclosed that he is currently working on two albums, explaining that one would be for the African audience and the other for the American audience.

Davido also revealed his favorite collaboration is ‘2 AM’ with Casanova and Tory Lanez because the record bridged Canadian, Nigerian and American cultures.

In a related post, grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has revealed her desire to be one of the leading Afrobeats artists.

The 21-year-old added that it is her desire for the genre to become the biggest in the world.

Speaking in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan UK, she said, “My hope for Afrobeats is for it to be the biggest genre in the world. Because it deserves to be.

"Other genres of music are great, but there’s nothing like Afrobeat. Even the sad music makes you feel good. So, I want Afrobeats to be the biggest genre in the world and I would love to be one of the leading artists.”

She disclosed that her dream music is Rihanna, Drake, Burna Boy, Beyoncé, Victoria Monét, Rema, Miley Cyrus, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler The Creator.
