Davido has shared a nostalgic throwback, reflecting on his early days as a performer before rising to international fame.
The Grammy-nominated singer recalled sneaking out of school in 2011 to perform in Ibadan. “In 2011, I 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 wrote on X.
Today, Davido is headlining his 5ive Alive Tour across Nigeria, performing to packed stadiums and collaborating with other top artists. “14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books,” he added.
Davido also urged fellow artists to invest in their homeland and give back to their roots. “To my peers, let’s build back home and give back to our roots. Big love to all our sponsors for backing this historic tour,” he said.
The tour will continue with stops in Abuja and Lagos, before Davido heads to Atlanta for a special birthday performance at State Farm Arena on November 20, celebrating his 32nd birthday on November 21.
“Abuja and Lagos up next, but next stop is ATL for my birthday, State Farm Arena on November 20th,” he concluded.
