Davido, the Afrobeats star, has opened up about how his friendship with American R&B icon Chris Brown began.
In a recent interview on the BagFuel podcast, the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker revealed that their connection started in 2018 through a mutual friend.
Davido recounted a FaceTime call with the friend during which Brown was seen dancing to one of his songs, sparking a brief conversation between them.
Meeting Chris Brown changed my life. I met him in 2018. He had a Nigerian friend, one of his best friends, he said.
The friend called me one day on Facetime, and my song was playing in the background; I asked where he was, and he said he was at Chris Brown’s house.
I was like, ‘What? Y’all playing my music?’ And he showed me Chris dancing to my song.
He gave Chris Brown the phone; that was the first time we had a conversation.
Davido disclosed that a few months later, he traveled to the United States and the two finally met in person.
According to him, their friendship clicked instantly.
A few months later, I went to America and linked up with Chris. From the first time we met, we just naturally became friends, he said.
Since then, the duo has delivered multiple chart-topping collaborations including ‘Blow My Mind’, Lower Body, Nobody Has To Know, Sensational and Hmm.
