Davido might not be a legend yet in Nigerian music but his achievement can’t be overstated.

1. Runtown

Runtown gathered airplay when he released Party Like 1980 but his big break didn’t come until he got a verse from Davido.

2. Lil Kesh

Olamide signed Lil Kesh, but the man that put him on our playlist is Davido.

Davido remixed Shoki at his peak and his verse is the best on the song. Davido didn’t stop there!

He rooted for Lil Kesh at several award shows, gives him shout out on his social media pages and more.

Tekno managed to get the attention of people like me with Holiday and made it to big radio stations and more.

Davido deserves all the pride he has right now!


4. Burna Boy

Before Burna Boy became a household name, he featured Davido on a song tagged Trumpet
