Davido, the Afrobeats musician, has revealed his second collection with sportswear giant Puma at the company’s main shop in New York.
The cooperation, announced last year, has resulted in two popular collections: the first in April and the current containing sporting goods like t-shirts, sneakers, jackets, and backpacks.
During the launch event, presented by Rolling Stone reporter Mankaprr Conteh, Davido discussed his humble beginnings and stated that his initial ambition was to have his songs aired on Nigerian radio.
On the second collection, the singer stated, “You know, the first collection, we were just testing the waters.” Because it was risky for them. Yes, people enjoy my music, but that is not the same as people enjoying your music and purchasing your things.”
The news coincides with the rekindling of Wizkid’s feud with Davido following the release of his debut single in 2024.
Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun state, was also intimidated by the ‘Made In Lagos’ singer.
In response to one of Davido’s supporters, Wizkid stated that he declined the deal given by Puma because “they could no longer afford to pay me”.
”U idiot! I turned down Puma cos they could no longer afford to pay me cos I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste u just mentioned! Not jealous ! love em all…With ur dirty ass shirt! Idiot!” Wizkid wrote on X.
Wizkid argued that rejecting the offer showed he was bigger than the ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker.
Davido, who has been active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.
