Last Saturday, during his one-of-a-kind performance at the Afroworld Festival at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, Nigerian music superstar Davido delighted his fans and gave them a night to remember. Following his performance in Dubai, the singer kicked off his North American tour in New York City yesterday. David Adeleke will perform in Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles as part of his “We Rise By Lifting Others” tour, which will run until June 25th.
Still in Dubai for the Afroword Festival, the DMW boss transported fans back in time as he took centre stage to perform a flawless rendition of his greatest hits. Surprisingly, the singer chose to perform some of his older songs instead of his more recent songs at the concert in Dubai. Davido, dressed dashingly in a blue shirt and shorts, performed hit songs such as ‘Dami Duro,’ ‘Gobe,’ ‘Fall,’ and others, to a crowd that reacted as if he had just released them.
The fans in Dubai demonstrated that they have long been fans of his music. As the crowd sang along to his old music, he became enthralled and animated. The ecstatic audience couldn’t get enough of OBO’s electrifying performance, demanding more from his vast music catalogue as video of the mesmerising display went viral. Davido’s performance at the Dubai concert elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media, with the majority praising the singer for his crowd control skills.
The award-winning Afrobeats singer quickly shared his plans for the next few days with fans while basking in the euphoria of his classic Dubai show. In a tweet, the DMW boss confirmed the official release date for his project with Ckay and South African rapper Focalistic, titled “Love Nwantiti.” According to him, the ‘biggest club banga’ will be released on Friday, and it will feature the above-mentioned musicians.
Then, a week later, Davido announced that he would be collaborating with American rapper DaBaby on the much-anticipated single, which he dubbed the “song of the summer.” The first single from Davido’s upcoming album, “Stand Strong,” was released earlier this year. The single was met with mixed reviews, and fans are looking forward to the follow-up single, which will provide more information about his upcoming album.
