David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is a prominent Nigerian musician who has achieved another career milestone.
In addition to winning awards, Davido is also breaking barriers and making history on social media. On Monday, one of his photos taken with his fiancee, Chioma, at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar became the Nigerian Instagram post with the most likes, garnering over 1.7 million.
On Sunday, Davido performed at the FIFA World Cup 2022’s closing ceremony in Qatar. Ahead of the event, the award-winning musician shared photos with Chioma on Instagram, who could be seen getting her man ready for the stage.
Since the passing of his son Ifeanyi in October, Davido hadn’t published anything on social media until then.
Since the event, the couple had avoided social media, but when he returned, millions of Nigerians and followers from across the world flocked to like their photos.
Aisha, Ozun, and GIMS, three international performers, also appeared on the global stage with Davido.
“Better Together” by Davido and Aisha was performed, and Ozuna and GIMS also performed “Arhbo”.
Excited Nigerians praised Davido on social media for his stunning performance on the international stage after his show on Sunday night, with many claiming that he had made their country proud.
Samklef, a music producer, and DJ Neptune, a well-known DJ, were two of the many Nigerians that praised Davido.
Samklef tweeted a video from the performance where he said, “OBO, our king is back.”
While DJ Neptune tweeted “#davido, we are so happy to see and watch you perform.”
