Ace Afrobeats singer and record label owner, David Adeleke better known as Davido has disclosed that he is yet to meet Trinidadian rapper, singer and songwriter, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty aka Nicki Minaj despite collaborating with her twice on songs.
He made this known on a recent episode of the Bootleg Kev podcast, while explaining how his collaborations with the Trinidadian took place.
The :Electricity’ crooner added that the first time he traveled to the US to shoot the video with Minaj, it didn’t work out because she was having a baby.

Speaking during the interview, Davido said, “You know the crazy thing? I have never met her [Nicki Minaj]. It’s crazy. We speak on the phone all the time. The first time we linked was through DM.
“I noticed that she was following me, and I texted her. I woke up the next morning and saw her reply. I was shocked. I told her I had a song for us, and she said she was interested. I think it was 2019 or 2020. I sent her the record, and two days later, she sent me her verse.
“We went to L.A. to shoot the video, but it didn’t work out because she was having her baby at that time. But we’ve always been close since then. She hit me again with the record last year for Pink 3, I think her anniversary album. She’s always supportive. She’s amazing.”
Davido and Nicki Minaj collaborated on the Afrobeats singer’s 2020 hit song, ‘Holy Ground’ and the Trinidadian rapper’s anniversary album last year.
