Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has stated that having an American passport has given him an edge in his music career.
The singer noted that his passport is worth more than a million dollars.
Davido stated this in a recent interview with Omega British Blog.
According to him, when some of his band members are having issues with Visa approval he always has an edge because of his American passport.
Davido, however, expressed pride in his Nigerian nationality.
He said, “That part of my life (being born abroad) didn’t come out until I blew up. People thought I live in Nigeria. It was later on in my career that people realized that I did Alabama college and stuff like that.
It wasn’t like I was introduced as an American artist in Nigeria. I’ve been in the streets back home. The only thing is that I could fly anytime I wanted, like go to America anytime I wanted.
“Till date, I don’t care how much money you’ve got, that blue passport is worth more than a million Dollars.
“For example, we were going to Australia for a tour, to get the structure is so hard because some of my band members were having difficulties in getting the papers just because of their passports.
“But obviously, it’s kind of easier for me because of the blue passport.”
