Davido Tells The World About Kweku Smoke, Ghanaians Hail Him

• Nigerian singer Davido has urged the world to pay more attention to Ghanaian musician Kweku Smoke
• The Afrobeats star added the talented rapper to a list of youngsters across Africa who had surfaced on his radar
• Davido's endorsement of Kweku Smoke has garnered significant traction among music fans on social media

Award-winning Afrobeats singer Davido has expressed his admiration for Ghanaian hip-hop sensation Kweku Smoke.

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 artists 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.
