Afrobeats superstar Davido has taken a trip down memory lane, recalling his early days as a performer.
The Grammy-nominated artist shared that in 2011, he once skipped school in Ibadan to join a live show, not knowing it would later air on Soundcity.
“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.
Fast-forward 14 years, Davido is now headlining his 5ive Alive tour across Nigeria, including a recent show in Ibadan, which has been met with massive crowds and widespread acclaim. Reflecting on his growth as an artist, he added, “14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.”
Davido also used the moment to inspire his peers to invest in their homeland, saying, “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.”
