Nigerian music star, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, is no doubt one of the top artistes in the country. He has successfully taken Nigerian music to the world map despite being in the industry for a relatively short time.

The star became known in the music scene after his hit song in 2011, Back When, and he hasn’t looked back ever since. He has been able to surpass his seniors in the industry to the joy of fans.

Davido clocked 26 on Wednesday, November 21, 2018, and to celebrate him, We have gathered some ground breaking achievements of the young musician.

1. Award winning artiste

The Nwa Baby crooner is a multiple award winning artiste. According to Wikipedia, he has received a total of 42 awards out of 87 nominations including BET awards, MTV Africa Music Awards and Channel O music video awards to name a few.

In 2016, the star started his own record label called Davido Music Worldwide (DMW). The label has signed on artistes such as Dremo, Perruzi, Mayorkun, Idowest, to name a few. The label boss is known to want to help people around him become just as successful in the music industry, and this is apparent in how he pays attention to his signees.
