It is indisputable that Davido has been consistently releasing hits over the past ten years. But has he attained the stature necessary to qualify as an Afrobeat legend? Do his accomplishments justify his inclusion at the table of Afrobeat legends?
The flashier and more opulent his music videos became, displaying heights of wealth that most people can only imagine, the more well-known he became for his unique brand of music.
