Konvict Muzik founder Akon has described Davido as the hardest working artiste though an underdog.
Before discussing Davido’s status as an underdog in an interview with Sway Calloway, Akon revealed the former was working on becoming a rapper in Atlanta at the time when they were pushing for Thug Records.
But said he advised him to go back home to Africa if he truly wanted to make something out of music.
“Around the time we were pushing Thug record, Davido was in Atlanta trying to a rapper. Davido who is one of the biggest Afrobeats artiste of today, was in Atlanta trying to rap. I said nigga if you don’t take your ass back to home to Africa to do that music. “Go to Africa”, he said.
On Davido’s status as an underdog, Akon said, it propelled the E Choke” crooner to work harder and at a faster pace at releasing records.
