During the conversation, Tchouameni expressed his long-standing admiration for Davido, revealing that he has been a fan of the artist since he was just ten years old.

Afrobeats sensation Davido recently opened up about a challenging chapter in his career, shedding light on his early experiences with Sony Music, which proved to be commercially disappointing.
During a candid interview, Davido reflected on his debut project under the American record label, the Son of Mercy EP, released in 2016. He acknowledged it as a creative misstep, attributing its shortcomings to a divergence between his own artistic vision and the label’s direction.
Expressing his dissatisfaction, Davido remarked that the music felt like it was made for him rather than by him, highlighting the lack of creative control imposed by Sony. This led him to return to Nigeria after a year in Atlanta, where he reconnected with his trusted producers.
