(Video) Afrobeats superstar Davido performs at UN General Assembly

Afrobeats superstar, Davido, recently brought an unforgettable energy to a significant event held during the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

The event, which was part of the United Bank for Africa’s (UBA) 75th anniversary celebration, saw the award-winning Nigerian musician deliver a captivating performance that left the audience buzzing with excitement.

Known for his powerful stage presence, Davido performed some of his biggest hits, including crowd favourites such as ‘Aye,’ ‘Skelewu,’ and ‘Risky.’

The lively set resonated with attendees, creating a vibrant atmosphere in contrast to the typically formal proceedings of the UN assembly.

His participation in this prestigious event underscores the growing global influence of Afrobeats and African artists on the world stage.

UNGA, one of the primary organs of the United Nations, serves as a crucial platform where world leaders convene to address a range of pressing global issues.

This year’s session, like previous ones, gathered key figures from governments around the world to discuss policies and actions for tackling international challenges.

Davido’s performance follows closely on the heels of another milestone moment for Nigerian entertainers at the UN. Just days earlier, DJ Cuppy made history as the first Nigerian to host an opening session at the UNGA.

Davido’s appearance added yet another layer of cultural significance, highlighting how African music continues to play a pivotal role in global events.

The UBA’s 75th-anniversary celebrations were made even more remarkable by Davido’s electrifying show, bringing the sounds of Afrobeats to the international diplomatic scene.

His contribution not only entertained but also showcased the cultural richness that African music offers, as it continues to gain recognition and appreciation on a worldwide scale.

Through his performance, Davido delivered a blend of entertainment and cultural representation, making a lasting impression at one of the most notable global gatherings.
