Fans are wondering whether Davido has just hinted at a collaboration with Drake after a recent interview in Toronto.
The short answer is that there is no official confirmation yet. Davido did not directly mention Drake’s name. He simply responded, “Tell the boy” when asked why it had been so long since he featured a Canadian artist. That response quickly went viral because Drake is widely known by the nickname “The Boy.”
The moment has sparked speculation across social media, with many fans believing Davido may have been referring to the Canadian rap superstar.
What Did Davido Say During the Toronto Interview?
During an interview in Toronto, Davido was asked a straightforward question about why he had not worked with a Canadian artist in recent years.
Instead of giving a detailed answer, he replied:
“Tell the boy.”
The comment was brief, but it immediately caught the attention of fans online. Since Drake is often referred to as “The Boy” by fans and members of the music industry, many people interpreted Davido’s response as a possible hint about a future collaboration.
At the time of writing, Davido has not provided any additional explanation about what he meant.
Is Davido Confirming a Song With Drake?
No.
There is currently no official announcement from Davido, Drake, their management teams, or their record labels confirming a collaboration.
What exists right now is fan speculation based on Davido’s response during the interview.
Until either artist confirms a song, fans should treat the rumors as unverified.
Why Are Fans Linking the Comment to Drake?
The connection comes from Drake’s long-standing nickname.
For years, Drake has been referred to as “The Boy” by fans and fellow artists. The nickname appears throughout his music, interviews, merchandise, and social media culture.
When Davido responded with “Tell the boy,” many listeners immediately assumed he was talking about Drake because no other Canadian artist is more commonly associated with that nickname.
That interpretation spread quickly across X, TikTok, Instagram, and entertainment blogs.
Has Davido Ever Spoken About Working With Drake Before?
Yes.
This is not the first time Davido’s name has been connected to Drake.
An older interview clip resurfaced online shortly after the Toronto interview. In that clip, there were suggestions that music involving both artists existed at some point, though no official release ever followed.
The clip has fueled renewed interest among fans who believe a collaboration may have been discussed behind the scenes.
Still, neither artist has publicly confirmed that an unreleased song exists.
Has Davido Worked With Canadian Artists Before?
Yes.
Davido previously collaborated with Canadian artist Tory Lanez.

Davido has maintained a strong connection with Toronto for several years.
The Nigerian superstar has repeatedly spoken positively about the city and has described it as one of his favorite places in the world.
He has also performed major shows there and built a large fanbase within Canada’s African and international music communities.
Would a Davido and Drake Collaboration Make Sense?
From a music industry standpoint, it would.
Davido remains one of the biggest names in Afrobeats, while Drake has a long history of embracing international sounds and collaborating with artists from different regions.
A joint record could attract attention across Africa, North America, Europe, and other global markets.
Fans have wanted the collaboration for years because it would bring together two artists with massive international audiences.
What Are Fans Saying Online?
Many fans believe Davido intentionally left the answer open to interpretation.
Some think he was teasing an upcoming announcement.
Others believe he was simply making a playful comment without confirming anything.
The discussion has generated thousands of reactions online, with supporters of both artists debating whether a collaboration is already finished or still being discussed.
At this stage, there is no public evidence showing that a release date, song title, or project has been finalized.
