On September 11th, Afrobeats superstar and DMW boss Davido was hosted by Gbemi and Segun on Beat FM’s Drivetime Show.
The “Fem” crooner spoke at length with the hosts, discussing his decision to leave social media, his upcoming album, and more.
Davido gave reasons why he’s releasing his sophomore “A Better Time”, barely a year after his previous, “A Good Time.”
“I was going to ride on ‘A Good Time’ till [2021] but while on tour, I realized that like six songs from ‘A Good Time’ were already out. So I really only added how many songs?”
, “I didn’t feel like it was a brand new album and then immediately I came back to Nigeria due to COVID, we started recording. And then, I was mostly in Atlanta [Georgia, US] when I recorded ‘A Good Time,’ so I was only talking to my producers via WhatsApp or Skype.” He continued.
“Before I went to [Los Angeles] to do collaborations, the solo records I did here, I was on hand in Lagos [vibing with everybody]. I dropped ‘FEM’ today from a 17-track album. So we will get 16 new songs.”

Davido had previously announced he’d a song with Nicki Minaj in the pipes. He again confirmed it will be in the upcoming album.
“Before this song, I had never spoken with Nicki. We were in a club in Abuja and I was really drunk and I had also just recorded this song. I was like ‘Nicki will kill this song.’
“So I took my phone and DMed her. I said, “Nicki, I got a song for us. It’s gon’ go number one, I promise you’ in those exact words. The next morning, [I saw a message from her which read], ‘send it.’ The next day, she sent it...”
His son Ifeanyi will be the art cover for “A better time.”
