Many come into the music industry and struggle to hit the ground running, some come and immediately become the name on everyone's lips. Davido came at a time when the Nigerian music scene had a lot of big names recognized both locally and internationally. The scene was so competitive that it would take a new artist with enough talent, gusto, and determination to make an impact. Not many could boast of these qualities, but for Davido, they were in-born.

To back it up a bit, Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke had left a wealthy background behind him to dabble into the uncertainty of the Nigerian music scene, make a name and build a wealth of his own.

A billion Youtube views, a billion music streams and three critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, are evidence of the work put in by Davido over the last 10 years.

On December 24, Day 4 of the 2021 Flytime Music Festival, the entourage seemed to be much bigger than the usual 30BG crew members, selling out the entire Eko Convention Center. However, with Davido who is loved by almost everyone who has come in contact with him, this wasn't a surprise.

He went on to perform other singles "Gobe" and "Dodo" before retiring the attire for the night.
