Why I skipped school in 2011 — Davido
Quick Read
The Grammy-nominated singer shared the nostalgic moment in a post on X (formerly Twitter), as he reflected on his journey from a determined university student to one of Africa’s most celebrated performers.
Afrobeats superstar Davido has taken fans down memory lane, recalling how he skipped school in 2011 to perform at a show in Ibadan, marking one of his earliest steps into the spotlight.
The Grammy-nominated singer shared the nostalgic moment in a post on X (formerly Twitter), as he reflected on his journey from a determined university student to one of Africa’s most celebrated performers.
“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,” Davido wrote. “I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble.
14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.”
Now headlining his ‘5ive Alive Tour’, Davido has returned to the same city, Ibadan, where his early dream first took shape. The nationwide tour has recorded massive turnouts across major Nigerian cities, with electrifying performances and collaborations with top artists.
Beyond the music, Davido used his platform to inspire his peers to invest in their homeland and contribute positively to their roots.
“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.
The tour is expected to continue with stops in Abuja and Lagos, after which the singer will jet off to the United States for a special birthday concert at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on November 20, ahead of his birthday on the 21st.
“Abuja and Lagos up next, but next stop is ATL for my birthday, State Farm Arena on November 20th,” he concluded.
