Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido publicly endorses Ghanaian rapper Kweku Smoke during a Trackstar Show interview, highlighting his rising influence in Africa’s music scene. Fans speculate on Kweku Smoke’s potential win at the upcoming Ghana Music Awards.
Davido cosigned the Ghanaian rapper in an interview with the Trackstar Show, one of the most popular game shows on TikTok.
The show, hosted by Jack Coyne, features interactions with strangers and celebrities in and around New York City, testing their musical knowledge.
Contestants on the show get rewarded with a cash prize if they’re able to pass the test.
During the interview, Davido was asked to name his favourite artistes on the continent.
He mentioned Kweku Smoke‘s name among several others, including Boi Chase from Nigeria and Musa Keys from South Africa.
Davido’s interview has garnered significant traction online, considering Kweku Smoke’s tremendous rise in the music industry and his likelihood to win the ultimate Artiste of the Year award at this year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards on Saturday, May 10.
Last year, the rapper appeared to have done it all – two albums in one day, chart-topping hits, top-shelf collaborations and viral moments.
However, the race against top contenders like Team Eternity, King Promise, Stonebwoy and King Paluta for the Artiste of the Year plaque has proven not to be a walk in the park.
