I’ve never met Nicki Minaj despite collaborating with her – Davido

Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has revealed that he has never met Nicki Minaj in person, even though they have worked together on two songs.

Speaking on the Bootleg Kev podcast, Davido shared how their collaborations happened. He explained that they first connected through Instagram direct messages after he noticed that the American rapper was following him. Excited, he sent her a message, and to his surprise, she replied the next morning.

He told Nicki Minaj that he had a song for them to work on, and she agreed. This led to their first collaboration, Holy Ground, which was released in 2020. She recorded her verse and sent it back to him just two days later.

Davido also mentioned that they had planned to shoot a video in Los Angeles, but it didn’t happen because Nicki was expecting a baby at that time. However, they remained in contact.

Last year, Nicki Minaj reached out to Davido again for another song on her anniversary album, Pink Friday 2. He praised her for always being supportive and called her “amazing.”

Even though they have never met face-to-face, their strong musical connection has led to successful collaborations. Fans hope they will eventually meet and create more music together.
