In the interview with DJ Whoo Kid and his co-host, which was mostly lighthearted, Davido clarified that the success of his song, 'Fall' on New York radio stations came at a time when he was not even trying to achieve such feat.

''Honestly when I tried to cross to the American market, it didn't work, when I didn't try, it worked.'' he stated.

When asked how long he had been trying, he replied, ''I am 26 right now, my first single in the game [Back When] was when I was 17, so I have been big and the thing about Africa is when you are big in Africa, you are big all over the world.

Mainstream wise, I did my first show in New York, 4,000 people, when I was just 20, but it was basically attended by Africans who were following my music on the internet.''

In 2016, Davido signed a deal with a deal with US record label, Sony/RCA, which initially did not work out as immediately planned, and he recollected how the label had placed him in a studio with fancy production equipment but he wasn't making the type of music he always wanted to make.

''I went back home to Nigeria without any intent of being international, I just kept doing it, releasing music, if everyone catches on, they catch on.''

He then commented on a few other topics, including how he was using the attention to bring awareness to Nigeria and his relationship with his girlfriend Chioma, stating, ''I have a girlfriend but not engaged, we have been together for five years.''

Davido's 'Fall', released in 2017 has over the past few months become a staple on American radio stations and recently became the longest charting Nigerian song on the Billboard leading to a rise in his profile in the United States.

Davido is expected to continue his US press run with a visit to Hot 97 today, Wednesday, February 27th.
