Davido has revealed that he would be appearing in yet another Hollywood movie following his role in recently premiered ‘Coming 2 America’.

The singer made this known during his feature on the Ionwannatalk podcast, where he spoke about his music and new acting career.

If you didn’t know, Davido featured in the comedy movie. He was seen performing his 2019 song ‘Assurance’ on stage for an audience in a packed room with the entrance of the Prince of Zamunda and his wife.

The 28-year-old stated that he would be playing the role of a taxi driver in the film to be directed by Edward Zick, producer of ‘Blood Diamond’, ‘The Last Samurai’, ‘About Last Night’ and more Hollywood movies.

He stated;

I have another movie that I’m doing with the dude that shot Blood Diamonds. I play a taxi driver.

Speaking further during the interview, Davido said he has two studio albums recorded, adding that he’s only waiting on the right time to put them out.

According to him, an extended play (EP) in which he partnered US R&B star, Chris Brown, is also in the works.

He expressed;

Luckily for me, a lot of hits came out of ‘A Better Time’ (ABT). The first video I shot on ABT was me and Chris Brown. I’ve noticed that, with music, you have to plan especially when you’re releasing an album.

We’re in an industry where you have hit after hit. After you drop this, they want you to drop that. With me right now, I have two albums already made. I have movies coming out so I think I want to chill.

When asked about his journey towards becoming a record producer, Davido opened up on his audio engineering days.

He narrated;

The first thing I really wanted to learn; my passion was really audio engineering. I’ve had a good ear for music. I know when a song is a hit. I was 14, 15, and doing sessions for drug dealers. They had guns, coke.

I go in the hood with my laptop. They knew me and that my father was rich in Nigeria.

On how he has managed to maintain his cool despite his numerous achievements in the entertainment scene, he said;

Everywhere you go, people know you are. Over the year, I’ve learned the art of not letting it get to me.

It’s a mental thing. I will be like there are people bigger than me. It’s something that every artiste has to teach themselves. It affects you in a certain way. Sometimes I feel like things are going so fast.

You look at how I’ve lived, and my relationship with people. I blew up at 16 17. I haven’t grown up in my adult years with regular people. When I’m looking at life, it’s different.
