Following his role in ‘Coming 2 America’, Nigerian hip pop star, Davido will be starring in yet another Hollywood movie.
The singer disclosed this during his feature on the Ionwannatalk podcast, where he spoke about his music career.
The 28-year-old said he would be playing the role of a taxi driver in the film to be directed by Edward Zick.
Davido also said he has two studio albums recorded, as he is only waiting on the right time to release them.
According to him, an extended play (EP) for which he partnered US R&B star, Chris Brown, is also in the works.

On how he has managed to maintain his cool despite his numerous achievements in the entertainment scene, he said: “Everywhere you go, people know you are. Over the year, I’ve learned the art of not letting it get to me.
“It’s a mental thing. I will be like there are people bigger than me. It’s something that every artiste has to teach themselves. It affects you in a certain way. Sometimes I feel like things are going so fast.
“You look at how I’ve lived, and my relationship with people. I blew up at 16 17. I haven’t grown up in my adult years with regular people. When I’m looking at life, it’s different.”
