Davido who charges in US Dollars stated that in a month if he performs in four shows he earns between $2m to $3m.

The singer stated, I mean now shows are $600,000. Now it is less; actually, because fewer people can pay. If I do four shows in a month, $2 million, $3 million.

The pop star has recently been riding on the success of his afrobeat album, Timeless, which he released on March 31. The 30-year-old singers fourth album, Timeless has been critically acclaimed since its release.
