Davido, who is American too (Atlanta), linked up with rappers Young Thug and Rae Sremmurd. Davido kept it African with his catchy hook.
6. Davido Ft. Tinashe – “How Long”
This is not a very popular Davido collaboration, but not a bad song at all. It was a victim of timing and of an underservedly underrated project, “Son of Mercy.”
5. Davido Ft. Popcaan – “Risky”
What started as a viral rap freestyle ended up becoming one of the biggest songs in Africa in 2019/20. Enlisting Popcaan on the song was genius.
4. Chris Brown Ft. Davido & Lojay – “Sensational”
With “Sensational,” Davido and Lojay scored their first-ever entries respectively on the Billboard Hot 100. The record is just too good to ignore.
3. Davido Ft. Chris Brown – “Blow My Mind”
Chris Brown and Davido has a bond that may lead to the birth of a joint album in future. “Blow My Mind” blew everyone’s mind when it came out five years ago. It’s a Gold standard record!
2. Chris Brown Ft. Davido – “Hmmm”
The latest Davido-Chris Brown collaboration, this song has the potential to become Davido’s most successful international collaboration.
1. Davido Ft. Meek Mill – “Fans Mi”
“Fans Mi” was released about 8 years ago, when Davido was already a big name in Africa and was looking into securing a spot in the biggest music market of America. Meek gave everything to the song–and to its video–artistically. It’s not Davido’s biggest collaboration (number-wise), but it’s the #1 best in our list (sonically).
