  "account": "Afrobeats artist Davido claimed a joint tour with fellow Nigerian musician Wizkid would sell out venues globally, stating he would demand a hefty $500,000 fee for each performance. The statement came during an appearance on the IONWANNATALK show, where the pair discussed the prospect of collaborating both musically and on stage. However, Davido expressed doubt regarding the potential success of a collaborative single, recalling that their previous collaboration with D’banj and 2Baba did not achieve the same level of popularity. \"If Wizkid and I make a song together, I don’t know if it will hit because with D’banj and 2Baba, it didn’t really take off,\" Davido remarked. Conversely, he was more confident about touring together, asserting that \"if we go on tour, I’ll demand $500,000 per show because I know every venue will sell out.\" The two artists had not released a track together in roughly ten years, citing a lack of compatibility as the reason for their separation. Davido further revealed that he and Wizkid were not in the same headspace when they last worked together, suggesting that differing opinions on whether their rivalry had amplified or hindered their careers had influenced their decision to part ways. Despite past disagreements, Davido emphasized the importance of maturity in acknowledging evolving feelings. \"I felt that way at some point but not anymore, and it takes a great man to admit that,\" he concluded.",
