US-born Senegalese rapper, Akon, has said he once signed some A-list Nigerian artistes like Davido, Wizkid and PSquare.

Akon made this known in an interview with The Breakfast Club crew on US radio, Power 105.1.

Discussing his relationship with Davido, the ‘Ghetto’ artistes noted that Davido started his trade in Atlanta, United States, before relocating to Nigeria.

Akon, while discussing his time in Senegal said that he had signed Wizkid, Davido and PSquare, alleging that there was nothing like contracts in Africa, just handshakes.

When asked why he let him (Davido) go, he said, “It’s not even a matter of letting him go, because in Africa, contracts really don’t exist. You just shake hands. It’s all words. Especially Nigeria, there is no contract being honoured.

“And me and Davido never had a contract. I was more like a big brother walking him through certain things, learn some things, advice, things like that.”

 “When I first went out there in 2008, I signed Wizkid, Davido, PSquare. Davido is like my little brother. Did you know, Davido was originally from Atlanta? And started his music career actually in Atlanta and just decided, you know what, ‘It’s too much of a struggle here, let me go back home.’

“He went back home and just popped off like that” (snaps fingers).

 Continuing, he said, “P-Square was actually the biggest act as of that time. It was a group of twin brothers. We had a song, ‘Choplife.’

“It was a huge smash. But at the time, Afrobeat wasn’t that big here.

“What I love about Davido is that he is an independent artiste. He came with the US hustle to Africa. So, he completely gets it.”

When asked if Davido was still signed to his record label, he said, “Nah, nah, He’s doing his own thing now.”
