Nicki Minaj And Davido Join Forces To Honor Their Partners On Their ‘Holy Ground’ Collaboration
The track is one of many highlights on Davido’s new ‘A Better Time’ album which also features Young Thug, Lil Baby, Nas, and more. …
Originally intended for a release last month, the #EndSARS movement in Nigeria pushed Davido to delay his third album, A Better Time. The Nigerian afro-fusion artist finally released the project on Thursday and one of its early highlights comes by the way of his “Holy Ground” track with Nicki Minaj.
The track was one fans anticipated for quite some time after Davido confirmed its existence earlier this year. As for the song itself, “Holy Ground” is a warm and heartfelt effort that finds both singers praising their love interests and labeling them a spiritual area that brings both comfort and happiness. Davido previously spoke about the Nicki Minaj collaboration and revealed it came after he sent a drunk DM to the rapper while he was at a party.
“I was like, ‘Yo, I swear to God, I’ll DM Nicki right now,’” the afro-fusion singer said in an interview with W Magazine. “I woke up the next morning and I forgot that I had messaged her the night before. I was like, ‘Oh sh*t, I was drunk.’ Nothing was really planned on this album—Nicki be charging people $500,000 for verses. And she did it for me for free.”
As for Davido’s A Better Time album, the project is a 16-track effort that presents guest appearances from American acts Young Thug, Lil Baby, Nas, Hit-Boy, and more as well as Nigerian acts including Mayorkun, Tiwa Savage, Sauti Sol, and more.

Gareth Dunlop evokes a soulful hit in the new single “Small Talk”
Gareth Dunlop’s new video “Small Talk” captures the art of conversational fumbles with both wit and warmth. Dunlop has never shied away from the uncomfortable; he digs into the unfiltered reality of those painfully relatable moments when you blurt out something awkward, only to cringe and regret it immediately internally. It’s a self-deprecating anthem for anyone who’s walked away from a conversation thinking, Did I really say that? With a blend of self-awareness and humor, “Small Talk” reveals the artist’s vulnerability, showing that even seasoned performers can be socially clumsy.
The video amplifies Dunlop’s charm, adding a layer of visual comedy to his storytelling. You’ll find yourself smiling at the little quirks and nodding in solidarity as he navigates awkward exchanges with an endearing sincerity. His delivery is reminiscent of influences like Van Morrison and Foy Vance, heartfelt yet tinged with a knowing grin. The understated, acoustic-driven arrangement allows his smooth, soulful vocals to take center stage, letting each lyric resonate.
“Small Talk” is a universal truth wrapped in melody. Dunlop’s honest confession about failing at “gentle conversation” becomes a charming anthem for those who’ve shared the same experience and ever overthought a casual chat. “Small Talk” reminds us that it’s okay not to have all the right words sometimes. With its relatable theme and infectious melody, “Small Talk” is a testament to Dunlop’s ability to find beauty in life’s imperfections. Here’s to the brave souls who face each awkward moment with grace or a good sense of humor.
