After completing his secondary education at the British International School in Lagos, Davido moved to the United States to study business administration at Oakwood University in Alabama. However, his love for music overshadowed his academic pursuits, and he dropped out of college to pursue a career in the music industry.

Since then, he has released several chart-topping singles and albums, including “Omo Baba Olowo” and “A Good Time.” Davido’s unique blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and R&B has captivated audiences around the world.

As an entrepreneur, Davido has ventured into various business endeavors. He is the co-owner of HKN Music, a record label he founded with his elder brother, Adewale Adeleke. Davido has also collaborated with international artists such as Chris Brown, Meek Mill, and Young Thug, further solidifying his global influence.

In addition to his musical achievements, Davido is known for his philanthropic efforts. He has initiated various projects aimed at improving the lives of underprivileged children and supporting education in Nigeria. Through his Davido Foundation, he has provided scholarships, built schools, and donated to charitable organizations.

Davido’s talent, hard work, and determination have earned him numerous accolades and awards. He has won multiple BET Awards, MTV Africa Music Awards, and a MOBO Award.
