Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has named global icon Rihanna as his dream international collaborator.
Heย made the remark during a live stream interview on Twitch with the host @Theboyfromojo.
โRihanna is my dream collab, but sheโs not into music again. She makes billions from her makeup business now,โ the singer said.
Davido acknowledged his admiration for Rihana, noting that a collaboration between them would make โdope musicโ.
The โI Know Who I Beโ crooner however expressed uncertainty about the collaboration happening anytime soon.
According to him, Rihanna is highly focused on her massively successful Fenty beauty and fashion businesses rather than recording new music.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the two artists share a mutual respect as Rihanna has been very vocal about her appreciation for Davidoโs catalog.
She once declared Davidoโs hit track โUnavailableโ (featuring Musa Keys) as her favorite song, having it on repeat.
Davido, highly appreciative of the โshoutoutโ, playfully referred to her as โmy Ri Riโ in response.
Davido has collaborated with several international artistes, including Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby and DaBaby, highlighting global reach of his music.
Rihanna, who last released a full studio album since โAntiโ in 2016, has built a business empire primarily through Fenty Beauty.
