Award-winning Nigerian singer, Davido has moved up a great step in his music career. In what is a monumental moment for the 23-year-old, he has been signed on to Sony Music Global in a multi-million deal. He reportedly got a house and a million dollar as part of the deal.
He signed the deal in New York and his manager, Kamal Ajiboye and brother, Adewale Adeleke were present to witness the historical moment.
The super-excited singer shared the news on social media and he had pictures to show too. He also revealed that sealing this deal has been the reason he kept pushing back the release of his sophomore album.
Here are the tweets:
