Davido seemed to reinforce this narrative during the podcast, where he bragged about his achievements as an influencer.
According to the 5IVE star, he’s responsible for Martell’s GDP in Africa growing over 22% from what it used to be.
Davido also claimed that he chased out one of Martell’s competitors, Hennessy, from the Nigerian market. According to OBO, people no longer drink Hennessy at clubs; they drink Martell.
In his words:
“When Martell came to Nigeria, I grew Martell’s GDP in Africa to over 22%, that’s one individual doing that. That’s not like 10 artists doing that. Basically, I chased Hennessy out of Nigeria, I’m telling you. Go to the club, it’s hard to see a Hennessy bottle, it’s all Martell. I got called by the boss, I was flown out on the Martell jet to Cognac in France, we structured the whole deal, they gave me my own bottle, I got a percentage from the bottle, so there’s influence.”

“Too much talk no they full basket he knows his gullible fans believe anything he says and spread the narrative but outside Nigeria those narrative carry no weight. That’s why he has lots of jobless followers based on Mobile users for Naija plenty and that translates to more followed and more endorsement. I give him kudos but make nobody talk say he’s a greatest musician he’s not even top 5 for Naija ever.”
