2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

Davido explains why he rarely goes to clubs now

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, says he now rarely goes to clubs because he is more focused on his family, rest and a calmer lifestyle.​ He explained on The LongForm Podcast that having fame, money and influence at a young age had pushed him into a hectic nightlife in his early career. Back then, going to clubs almost every day felt normal and part of his identity.​ Davido said things have changed as he has grown older and started a family. He now prefers staying at home, spending time with loved ones or talking to his wife online when he is away rather than hanging out in clubs.​ He described a recent two month stay in Nigeria when he did not go out at night but instead relaxed at home, visited his studio and invited friends over […]

Davido shares wife Chioma’s inspiring words after Grammy loss

Award winning singer Davido has shared the uplifting words his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, used to encourage him after he missed out on a Grammy win for the second time at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.​ Davido’s hit “With You,” featuring Omah Lay, was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category but lost to South African star Tyla’s “Push 2 Start.” The category was heavily stacked with Nigerian stars, including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Omah Lay and Eddy Kenzo, yet none of them clinched the award.​ In a post on X, Davido revealed he initially did not feel like attending the post awards after party following the defeat. He said Chioma urged him to go out and hold his head high, telling him: “Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We’re outside.”​ The singer later shared photos […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]

Davido thanks father for defending him in paternity controversy

Afrobeats star Davido has thanked his father, billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke, for publicly defending him in the ongoing paternity dispute involving Ayo Labinjoh and her teenage daughter, Aanu.​ Aanu had recently written an open letter asking Davido to agree to a new DNA test to confirm her claim that he is her biological father.

As the controversy grew, Adedeji Adeleke called a press conference on Wednesday to address the matter.​ At the briefing, he backed his son and explained that the paternity tests were done on both Davido and his cousin, singer B Red.

Deji Adeleke denies Davido fathered 12 year old Ibadan girl

Billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke has formally denied long running claims that his son, Afrobeats star Davido, is the father of a 12 year old girl named Anuoluwapo from Ibadan. He described the allegations as false and blamed years of misinformation and alleged impersonation by commentator Kemi Olunloyo.​ Adeleke said he has five children and 14 grandchildren and would gladly welcome another grandchild if paternity were ever confirmed. He explained that he decided to speak publicly because the same story resurfaces almost every year on social media.​ He traced the case back to 2014, when he received a DHL package from Ibadan containing photos of Davido and the child, a birth certificate naming “Adeleke David” as the father and a letter from the girl’s grandmother. The widow asked only for a DNA test to confirm paternity and responsibility, not marriage or […]

Seyi Sodimu says Davido could win governorship over Burna Boy

Singer Seyi Sodimu has compared the influence of Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, saying each member of the Afrobeats Big 3 holds a different kind of power. He described Burna Boy as having conquered the stage musically, called Wizkid special, and said Davido’s influence goes far beyond music.​ Speaking on the podcast What I Know, Sodimu argued that Davido’s popularity could be strong enough to win a governorship election. He added that he does not believe Burna Boy could win a governorship contest in the same way.​ Sodimu said that Davido’s appeal cuts across music, politics and everyday life.
