Davido Shines on Cover of Glam Africa Magazine’s “Africa Rising” July – September Issue | Dishes on Rocky Beginnings, Career Challenges & Road to Success

by Client News

The term, “Africa Rising,” became popular at the beginning of the millennium. It was a phrase used to express the rapid economic growth of our continent. Almost two decades later, we are still on the rise, and there’s no doubt that our music industry is one of the plethora of elements responsible for this rise.

What better way to spotlight this than to feature one of the world’s biggest Afrobeats superstars, Davido, on Glam Africa Magazine’s cover?

In perhaps his most revealing interview yet, he dishes on the not-so-glamorous aspects of his journey to success, as he gives us a rare insight into exactly what it takes to be one of Africa’s most formidable artists. From career challenges, to making up with Wizkid, to the scoop on the love of his life “Chioma, ” Davido bares it all in the publication’s “Africa Rising” – themed issue.

Speaking on one of the hurdles he had to overcome, Davido says, “…I left Nigeria for a while in January 2016, and I got signed to Sony around that time. And then I was left thinking, like, I’ve signed this deal…now what? So when I dropped this If thing, it at first didn’t really move. Nothing in general moved for me. I wouldn’t say that I was depressed
at the time since I was just trying to stay positive, but I was like ‘what is going on?’…

In addition to this exclusive interview, this edition of the magazine takes an in-depth look into all facets of the Africa Rising movement. From food, to music, to fashion, beauty, business and politics, we explore all unique elements of the continent’s tremendous rise.

In light of shaking things up, with this edition, GLAM AFRICA will officially debut its Beauty Box in Nigeria, where each yearly subscriber will receive a free box of beauty products. When asked about the motivation for the beauty box, Chioma Onwutalobi, CEO of Glam Africa magazine said:

“I always want GLAM AFRICA readers to have a value added experience and its high time we start promoting brands that come from Africa and/or cater to us.”

Each box will be filled with Sleek Studio products. GLAM AFRICA Magazine is available at stores across the country, including, Shoprite, Oriki Spa, Sari Signature, Quintessence, and more, as well as on demand at www.glamafrica.com/magazine offering bank transfer and cash on delivery payment options.
