“When my daughter Phoebe heard I was coming to Nigeria, she

them up…because I’m so ‘hip’. But I remember the last time I was here, I got to
see Davido & Wizkid perform,” the philanthropist said.
Gates added that Nigeria is filled with creative minds and
Afrobeats from Nigeria are popular everywhere.
“Of course, being here in Nigeria, I can’t help but mention

daughter Phoebe heard I was coming to Nigeria, she said, ‘You’re lucky to go
see Burna Boy and Rema,” he said.
He further recalled his last visit to Nigeria seeing Davido

“But I also remember, the last time I was here, I did get to
