Nicki Minaj, the renowned queen of rap, recently shared a surprising and eye-opening experience she had with Nigerian superstar Davido. Reflecting on her previous misconceptions about African artists, Nicki revealed how her perspective drastically changed after spending time with Davido and his family in Atlanta.
“I used to think African artists or celebrities weren’t that wealthy,” Nicki admitted. “But I was truly shocked when Davido invited me to his home in Atlanta. I saw all sorts of expensive cars, and I was told they were all his – not rented. The sheer luxury was astounding.”
During her visit, Nicki was further astonished when Davido generously gifted her $200,000. “I was like, ‘Are Africans really this rich?’ On media, they often act like they’re struggling, but this experience was a complete revelation,” she said. “From that moment, I grew to love and respect Africans even more. In America and Europe, many celebrities live fake lives, renting cars and flaunting fake chains, but with Africans, it’s a different story.”
Nicki’s admiration for Davido and African celebrities grew as she observed their authenticity and success. Unlike the facade often seen in Western celebrity culture, where appearances can be deceiving, she found African artists to be genuine in their wealth and lifestyle.
“Seeing Davido’s home and how he lives gave me a new appreciation for African artists. They’re not just talented; they’re genuinely successful and humble,” Nicki shared. “It was an inspiring experience that changed my view of African celebrities.”
This encounter with Davido has left a lasting impression on Nicki Minaj, reshaping her understanding of African success and reinforcing her admiration for the continent’s rich culture and talent.
