Relishing his recent collaboration with the legendary musician, Davido noted that he has been longing to work with her.
Speaking in a recent interview with CNN’s Inside Africa, Davido said: “I’ve always been wanting to work with Mama Africa [Angelique Kidjo], that’s what we call her, for a long long time.
