I Charge American Artistes 20Million Naira for a Verse – Davido
Davido has revealed the amount he charges American artists for a verse.
In a recent interview with Dot on ‘The Dotty Show’ off Apple Music 1, Davido spoke about working American singer, Stevie Wonder. “Okay. Listen, let me tell you. With Stevie, okay, Stevie Wonder’s a legend, of course. If he met me, he wouldn’t do it.
I’m charging American artists for songs right now. Two American artists done pay me $70,000 for a verse.”
The “FEM” singer also spoke about not paying for collaborations. He says,

“I mean, at a point in my career I believed that, “Let’s just give him money. Let’s just give him money. Let’s just do the record.” But after a while, it just never came into play anymore.
“That’s why I said the relationship with this, I’ll have a relationship with this artist, it’s very important. It’s past the music. Even apart from the music, having a relationship with them is very important so they don’t bring things like this last minute, “Oh, money.” A lot of them know I do it. A lot of them know my situation.
“I wouldn’t lie to you. I come from a background of money, but now, I mean, I make the best music ever. Its like, “Let’s make music. That’s why we’re here.” Later on when we make money from the music, I might be like, “Hey man, I just made $200,000 from that song. I don’t really need it. Yo, you can have it.” You know what I’m saying?”
