Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke aka Davido, is scheduled to perform at the closing ceremony of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
This comes barely eight weeks after he lost his first son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, who drowned in a swimming pool in their home.
His scheduled performance was confirmed by Stephen Hung, a businessman from Hong Kong, via his verified Instagram page.
Hung wrote; “So happy my bro @davido confirmed he will be performing at the World Cup Qatar closing ceremony. Can’t wait to see him there”.
In March 2022, Davido was featured on “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)” (alongside Trinidad Cardona and AISHA), the first single of the multi-song FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Official Soundtrack. It marked Davido as the first Nigerian singer to be featured in a FIFA World Cup single.
