As Davido turns 32, we take a moment to appreciate his groundbreaking contributions to Afrobeats and his global success. With over a decade in the music industry, Davido has played a central role in elevating African music to international acclaim, breaking barriers and setting new records along the way.
From becoming the first African artist to feature on a FIFA World Cup theme song in 2022, to partnering with PUMA on a unique clothing line, Davido has consistently pushed Afrobeats and African representation to new heights. His music has also reached the silver screen, with tracks featured in movies like Queen of Katwe and Coming to America II.
Notable achievements include winning Best International Act at the 2018 BET Awards, selling out London’s O2 Arena in 2019, and being the first African artist to perform at the MOBO Awards. With gold-certified hits like Fall, Davido has made history in ways that inspire and unite fans worldwide.
Happy Birthday, OBO!
