David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is a Nigerian-American artist who claims that having a blue passport has made traveling abroad simpler for him.
He claimed that because he holds an American passport, he always has an advantage when some of his band mates are having trouble getting their visas approved.
The musician, who was born in Atlanta, said that the American passport was worth more than $1,000,000.00.
In a recent interview with Omega, he made this claim.
Davido, on the other hand, emphasized how proud he was to be Nigerian.
“Being born abroad was a secret aspect of my existence until I blew up. People mistook me for a Nigerian citizen. People only learned that I attended Alabama College and other similar institutions later in my career.
“It wasn’t like I was introduced as an American artist in Nigeria. I’ve been in the streets back home. The only thing is that I could fly anytime I wanted, like go to America anytime I wanted.
“Till date, I don’t care how much money you’ve got, that blue passport is worth more than a million Dollars.
“For example, we were going to Australia for a tour, to get the structure is so hard because some of my band members were having difficulties in getting the papers just because of their passports.
“But obviously, it’s kind of easier for me because of the blue passport,” he said.
