Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has named Barbadian singer Rihanna as his dream international collaborator.
Davido made this known during a live stream interview on Twitch with the host @Theboyfromojo.
“Rihanna is my dream collab, but she’s not into music again. She makes billions from her makeup business now,” the singer said.
Davido acknowledged his admiration for Rihana, noting that a collaboration between them would make “dope music”.
The “Aye” crooner however expressed uncertainty about the collaboration happening anytime soon.
He said Rihanna is highly focused on her massively successful Fenty beauty and fashion businesses rather than recording new music.

The two singers share a mutual respect as Rihanna has been vocal about her appreciation for Davido’s catalog.
She once declared Davido’s hit track “Unavailable” (featuring Musa Keys) as her favourite song, having it on repeat.
Davido, highly appreciative of the ‘shoutout’, playfully referred to her as “my Ri Ri” 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 studio album since “Anti” in 2016, has built a business empire primarily through Fenty Beauty .
