I’ve never met Nicki Minaj despite collaborating with her – Davido

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido has revealed that he has never met U.S. rapper Nicki Minaj despite collaborating with her twice on songs.

He disclosed this in a recent episode of the Bootleg Kev podcast while discussing how his collaborations with Minaj happened.

“You know the crazy thing? I have never met her [Nicki Minaj]. It’s crazy. We speak on the phone all the time. The first time we linked was through DM,” Davido said.

“I noticed that she was following me, and I texted her. I woke up the next morning and saw her reply. I was shocked. I told her I had a song for us, and she said she was interested. I think it was 2019 or 2020. I sent her the record, and two days later, she sent me her verse.

“We went to L.A. to shoot the video, but it didn’t work out because she was having her baby at that time. But we’ve always been close since then. She hit me again with the record last year for Pink 3, I think her anniversary album. She’s always supportive. She’s amazing.”

Davido and Nicki Minaj collaborated on the singer’s 2020 hit Holy Ground and also on the rapper’s anniversary album last year.
