BBNaija Laycon has acknowledged Davido as one of 'the biggest voices in Afrobeats because his music connects with people.'

In the piece, the reality star recalled the EndSARS movement and how Davido's FEM was an anthem that peaceful protesters used to call for accountability from the government rather than giving excuses.
He said:
"When he released the song “FEM” in 2020, a title that loosely translates to “shut up” in Yoruba, he didn’t know it would become a major #EndSARS protest anthem, as youth banded together to demand the government take action to end police brutality in Nigeria last October."
Davido spotted the tweet from Time about Laycon's writeup and he retweeted it. The singer captioned the tweet with a love emoji.
