This is more than his top colleagues, Burna Boy and Wizkid can boast of with the former being at 6.1 million followers and the later at 11.8 million.
Having a huge social media following is quite the ego boost for celebrities as it is taken as a sign of them doing the right things. Social media has become so important that having a huge following can lead to juicy deals with brands among other perks.
Well, not being as highly followed as Davido has not affected the reception the other artiste’s music has received from fans.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Wizkid's latest album, Made In Lagos, had continued to cross new milestones, giv credence to his position on putting his best into the body of work.
Months after the 14-track album was released, it is still breaking new records and performing impressively across different music charts.
Just recently, the album scored a new record as the longest-charting African project on the Billboard World Album chart, for the current decade. This happened after the project spent 13 weeks on the chart.
