Lagos Better Than Any City In The World– Davido Reveals 

Lagos Better Than Any City In The World– Davido Reveals 

Nigerian music icon, Davido, despite being born in Atlanta and travelling extensively, has a special fondness for the vibrant city of Lagos.

In an Apple Music interview before the release of his “Timeless” album last year, he expressed his love for the city’s energetic and lively atmosphere, comparing it to other notable cities like New York.

He said, “Yeah, Lagos is like New York. Okay. I’ll say there are cities that I’ve been to and I can say New York is cool. I haven’t been to Tokyo, but somewhere like Tokyo. London, definitely Kingston. Kingston. Lagos is very, very fast-paced. The horns. The market. And everything is in Lagos. You have the parts in Lagos where it looks like Miami. You got the parts in Lagos where it looks like … You know what I’m saying? So everything is Lagos. That city is a whole country in one, kind of. And I’ll say this every time, if you can survive in Lagos, you can survive anywhere in the world.

“The vibe in Lagos, musically for me, that’s where I go back. And it is also called tapping in with the streets. We travel so much. We are touring. You know what I’m saying? We never really get time to be at home. So every time I get home, I’m so excited. I’m like, “Yeah!”

Additionally, Davido shared that Lagos holds a special place in his heart as a favorite spot to unwind and enjoy music without the pressures of fame.

The bustling city provides him with a sense of comfort and tranquility, away from his superstar status.

“So funny. I concentrate the most on a plane. I don’t join no wifi. I put my headphones in and I just go through records and I just really listen. That’s when I’m really tapped out. That’s one place I really focus.

“Yeah, I like that. But I definitely love when it comes to recording and curating records, I love being at home in Lagos. Even if I record in a studio out here or in Atlanta, or wherever the idea is from, I always bring it to Lagos,” he states.
