Afrobeat singer Davido recently talked about how encountering American artist Chris Brown completely transformed his life.

While discussing his encounter with Chris Brown, Davido revealed that the American musician’s Nigerian pal had contacted him on FaceTime.

Chris Brown’s pal questioned Davido during the call if the song that was playing in the background was his.

“I replied yes. He then titled the phone to Chris Brown and I realized he was dancing to my song at the background of the call. So that’s how we had out first conversation together”.

Davido revealed that he flew to the United States and met up with Chris Brown after communicating with the musician over the phone. He stressed that they became buddies right away.

Davido talked about how he and Chris Brown flew to South Africa to play at the artists’ show.

He said:

“Meeting Chris Brown changed my life. I met him in 2018. He had a Nigerian friend, one of his best friends. 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. A few months later, I went to America and linked up with Chris. From the first time we met, we just naturally became friends.”

Their friendship blossomed into multiple musical collaborations, including the hit single “Blow My Mind” in 2019.

Davido has since expressed interest in releasing a joint album with Chris Brown, revealing they have about ten unreleased songs together. ​
