Nigerian music icon, Davido has shared a heartfelt reflection on his career, recalling a pivotal moment from 2011 when he skipped school to perform in Ibadan.
“Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour. I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it I got in so much trouble,” he revealed.
Fast forward 14 years, Davido celebrated a triumphant milestone: “We destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.”
He encouraged fellow artists on the journey ahead, urging, “To my peers let’s build back home and give back to our roots.”
Davido also expressed gratitude to sponsors who supported the tour and announced upcoming dates in Abuja, Lagos, and a special birthday show at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on November 20th.
