Renowned Nigerian singer Davido Adeleke, aka Davido, is embarking on a new journey in his music business involving an American distribution franchise, UnitedMasters.

In a statement from Founder & CEO Steve Stoute, he said:

“I see [Davido] as an entrepreneur that could build the next Bad Boy, the next Death Row and the next label that has significant impact like a Cash Money,” UnitedMasters CEO Steve Stoute said about the new venture.⁠”

According to Stoute, it didn’t take much convincing Davido to start a label similar to the hard-nosed rap labels he saw firsthand in the ’90s and ’00s.
