Popular Afrobeats singer Davido has shared a nostalgic post about his early days as a performer. He recently recalled when he skipped school in 2011 to perform in Ibadan, and fans have been reacting.
In a post shared via his X account, OBO reminisced about when his manager and B Red picked him up from Babcock and drove him to perform during Lynxxx’s nationwide tour.
According to him, he did not even know that his performance would air on Soundcity when he jumped on stage, but his father ended up watching it on TV.
Davido stated that his dad watching him perform got him in trouble because he had no idea he was recording music.
“In 2011, I skipped school to perform in Ibadan. Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock, and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour. I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble,” he wrote.
Fast-forward to the present, Davido applauded his growth, praising how he and his fans shut down the same Ibadan during his 5ive Alive tour.
He concluded by urging his colleagues to learn to give back to the country that made them superstars.
“14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.
To my peers, let’s build back home and give back to our roots. Big love to all our sponsors for backing this historic tour,” he added.
