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.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
