Afrobeats star Davido has once again expressed his desire to record a song with global music icon Rihanna, describing her as his ultimate dream collaborator.
Speaking during a recent livestream, the singer admitted that while he would love to work with the Barbadian superstar, he believes she is currently focused on her thriving business empire rather than releasing new music.
“Rihanna is my dream collab but she’s not into music again. She makes billions from her makeup business now,” Davido said.
His latest comments come shortly after Rihanna caught fans’ attention by liking a social media post promoting Davido’s new song, I Know Who I Am. The interaction sparked excitement among supporters, with many interpreting it as a show of support for the Afrobeats star and fueling renewed hopes of a future collaboration.
This is not the first time Davido has publicly spoken about wanting to work with Rihanna. He has repeatedly named the Grammy-winning singer among the international artistes he hopes to collaborate with, making it one of his biggest musical ambitions.
