Journalist, writer, and host Ivie Ani sits with Davido in New York City as he prepares for the release of ORIADÉ, his sixth studio album. Since his 2012 breakout single, “Dami Duro,” the global Afrobeats star has amassed a plethora of international accolades, performed on countless stages, while experiencing his share of highs and lows in his career and personal life.
