Afrobeat sensation David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has touched down in New York ahead of his highly anticipated performance at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The Nigerian superstar expressed his excitement on his social media, announcing it would be his first time attending the UNGA, with a scheduled performance during one of the event’s gatherings.
The globally recognized artist took to X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Touch down New York City for the @UN General Assembly… My first time attending should be interesting. Also performing tonight at one of the events! Catch me if u can!”
Davido’s performance is tied to a United Bank for Africa (UBA) event celebrating its 75th anniversary. His presence at the UNGA marks another milestone for Nigerian entertainers breaking global boundaries, as he joins DJ Cuppy, who made history as the first British Nigerian to host an opening session at the Assembly.
This invitation to Davido further cements the influence of Nigerian artists on the international stage, reflecting the growing global recognition of Afrobeats.
