How Having an American Passport boosted My Music Career – Davido

Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, claims that having an American passport has given him a career advantage.

The artist claims that his passport is worth more than $1 million.

This was disclosed by Davido in a recent interview with Omega.

He claims that having an American passport always gives him an advantage when some of his band members are having trouble getting their visas approved.

Davido, on the other hand, emphasized how proud he was to be Nigerian.

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.”
