Contemporary highlife musician Dada K.D says he has always thought Nigerian super star, Davido was a Ghanaian artiste.
According to Dada K.D, since his return from Germany, he has always heard a lot about the ‘Aye’ hitmaker. However, all this while, he thought he was a was a Ghanaian born art.
Dada K.D was speaking in an interview with Kojo Preko Dankwa on Kasapa Entertainment, Kasapa 102.5FM. He went on to query why Davido’s songs have taken over the Ghanaian airwaves if he’s not a Ghanaian.
“In my residence at Kumasi I have been hearing a lot of songs being played which are Davido’s own. I was thinking Davido was a new artist who resides in Ghana because of the rate at which his songs were being played over and over again just to realise he is a Nigerian art. So then how could we play his songs so massively in Ghana like that?” He queried.
He however urged DJ’s and music promoters to play more of Ghanaian songs in order to promote ourselves. Dada K.D also added that this will also enable the youth to appreciate and love their own.
“If we could promote other people’s songs in Ghana, then why can’t we do same and even more for our very own. Its time we sit up and love our very own because if we don’t no one will do it for us”. He told Kojo Preko Dankwa.
