Davido wows O2 Arena with grand entry in LCD cage
Nigerian crooner Davido has trended on social media as videos of his spectacular entrance at the O2 Arena Concert on Saturday wowed fans.
Born David Adeleke, the award-winning singer, arrived in a square LCD cage with psychedelic displays.
Moments later, Davido was revealed in a Dolce and Gabbana dress and opened his performance with high grossing ‘Skelewu’.
With a lot to see, hear and do on the night, fans help it but keep shouting and filming on their mobile devices as Davido landed on stage to start his performance.
For the thousand Nigerian diasporans who made it to the O2 Arena, they could not hide their love for their compatriot to the admiration of other citizens.
After delivering his performance, Davido used the occasion to celebrate Ghanaian dancehall act, Stonewboy, with the audience.
Stonebwoy turned 34 on Saturday and the concert was a climax for his birthday.
Even before Davido’s grand entry, his controversial aide, Isreal DMW, opened the show with chants amidst bell ringing.
Prior to the O2 Arena Concert, Davido had shared a conversation with his aide who had begged to open his O2 Arena show.
The aide had shared a video of his rehearsal to the ‘Fall’ singer showing him how he would usher him to the stage.
Davido bought into the idea and Israel got his wish as he had the rare opportunity of opening the show.
Dressed in an all-white, Israel made several chants dedicated to Davido akin to how fetish priests do to their gods with a bell in hand which rings simultaneously.
