‘Timeless’ more profitable despite costing less – Davido

Afrobeats singer Davido has stated though he spent so much money making his previous album “A better time’ than he has done so far for his latest ‘Timeless’, the latter has fetched him more money in just a few days of its release.

Davido pegged $2 million (almost one billion naira) as the cost of making his previous album ‘A Better Time’.

001 as he’s fondly referred to made the claim on the Ebro in the Morning Show on Hot 97FM, New York, during his media tour for ‘Timeless’ which was released on March 31, 3023.

The DMW boss stated the sum was expended on making of the album, including features from artistes, videos alongside promotion of the body of work.

Speaking about his fourth studio album, Davido said he hadn’t even spent up to $300,000 but has made much more profit from it that he did his third album.
