Although Davido did not disclose specific details of their discussion, the meeting underscores the growing cultural diplomacy between Nigeria and France, particularly in the creative and entertainment industries.
Macron has long shown interest in Africa’s creative sectors. In 2018, during a historic visit to the Afrika Shrine, home of late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the French President described it as an iconic centre for the propagation of African culture, strength, and music.
The recent meeting between Davido and Macron also comes on the heels of the Création Africa Forum held in Lagos, which celebrated innovation across digital fashion, gaming, animation, and immersive technologies
