In the wake of political shifts and social unrest, the conversation about diaspora Africans returning to their roots has gained momentum.
Nigerian music icon, Davido, recently shared his candid perspective on this topic during an exclusive interview with Big Homie Kodaq.
His comments come at a time when the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president has sparked a wave of discussions about moving to Africa among the African-American community.
Davido, known for his chart-topping hits and influential presence in the Afrobeat scene, has often been vocal about social and economic issues affecting Nigeria and Africa at large.
“Leave America and go where? It’s not cool back home,” he stated, highlighting the stark realities that contrast the often-romanticized view of Africa.

Davido’s interview has sparked conversations on social media, with many debating the feasibility and rationale behind such a significant relocation.
It has opened up a dialogue about the practicalities of uprooting one’s life in pursuit of a connection to ancestral lands, and what it truly means to ‘go back home.’
