Nigerian superstar Davido has revealed his racism experience as a student back in college in the United States of America.
He made this known in an interview with The Recording Academy, popularly known as The Grammys when he was speaking on the hatred amongst blacks.
He said, “It’s crazy, because I’m from both America and Africa, so I know how both sides think. I went to school in Alabama. I went to college at 15. I was very young. And Alabama was a predominantly white state. So being an African kid in a university where it’s 13% black people, it’s amazing. It’s not easy. I had to learn a lot of the things when I was like, Yo, why you look at me like that? And not even just being black, being African. They used to ask me questions like,Yo, how’d you get to America? I’m like, what you mean? I came on a plane. Oh, y’all got airports?”
Davido also went on to speak on how the narrative has changed, stating that many Americans now crave a visit to Africa.
He said, “Now every American wants to go to Africa. Everybody wants to know where they’re from. So, it’s good to see the transition from not being appreciated to being appreciated right now. Even with fashion. You got designers that making African print fashion, so it’s not only music. The culture is being felt everywhere.”
