Afrobeats superstar Davido just got fans talking after sharing a heartfelt reflection on his rise from a school-skipping teenager to a global music sensation.

Davido is electrifying fans during his 5ive Alive Tour 2025.

To begin with, Davido revealed that in 2011, he skipped classes at Babcock University to perform in Ibadan during the Lynxxx and Friends Tour. “I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity,” he said, laughing about how his dad found out and got him in trouble.

As time went on, however, Davido’s story took a much bigger turn. Fourteen years later, and the story couldn’t be more different. Davido now headlines stadiums across Nigeria with an explosive celebration of sound, culture, and gratitude. Fans in cities like Ibadan, Abuja, and Lagos have witnessed electrifying performances filled with hits like Feel, Unavailable, and Over Dem.

In addition, Davido used the moment to encourage other artists to stay connected to their roots. “Let’s build back home and give back to our roots,” he urged fellow artists, echoing a message of unity and purpose in the Afrobeats scene.

 Looking ahead, A massive birthday concert at State Farm Arena, Atlanta, on November 20th, which promises to be another unforgettable night for OBO and his global fanbase.

Ultimately, The 5ive Alive Tour isn’t just about music; rather, it serves as a reminder of how far Afrobeats has come and how hard work, vision, and passion can turn youthful dreams into worldwide anthems.
