Davido shed light on the expanding popularity and influence of Afrobeats in the United States during a pre-performance side interview with Billboard's Neena Rouhani.
Talking on his most memorable time performing at BET Awards, he expressed;
“I feel good performing tonight. It should be big. It should be amazing; it’s the first time I’m performing at the [BET] Awards, and I’m excited.”“I remember when I used to live in America as an African, in Atlanta and in Alabama for a while. I used to share [African] music, play music for my American friends and they love it. So, I always knew if we had the opportunity to be heard, eventually it [afrobeats explosion] would happen.“Shoutout to all the Afrobeats artists killing it as well. Everybody putting in works, coming out here doing tours, spreading the gospel [of afrobeats].”
