Davido explained that the overwhelming reaction from female fans, who went “crazy” for the celebrities, deeply impacted him and solidified his desire to enter the music industry.

Since then, Davido has released numerous chart-topping hits and gained international acclaim, becoming a global ambassador for Afrobeats.
