Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has shared a glimpse into his current music rotation, revealing a surprisingly wide mix of global and Nigerian artists shaping his recent listening habits.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Grammy-nominated singer said his playlist reflects no strict boundaries, but rather a blend of sounds he connects with in the moment.
Among those he mentioned was fellow Nigerian star Tems, whose global rise and distinct soulful sound continue to resonate strongly within and beyond Afrobeats.
He also highlighted American R&B icon Chris Brown, a frequent collaborator whose creative relationship with Davido has grown over the years. The two reportedly have over 20 recorded tracks together, with discussions around a potential joint project still ongoing.
Rounding out his list were major US rap figures. Future and Lil Baby, both of whom represent Atlanta’s dominant influence on modern hip-hop—a space Davido has long shown a strong affinity for.
He summed it up in a relaxed way, noting he listens to “everybody,” a reflection of how broad his musical taste has become.
Davido has previously spoken about his admiration for Chris Brown, describing him as an artist he respects deeply both personally and professionally, especially as their studio chemistry continues to expand.
Altogether, his current playlist mirrors his global approach to music—one that moves freely between Afrobeats, R&B, and hip-hop, without borders or limitations.
