Afrobeats superstar Davido has taken a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recalling how he once skipped school in 2011 to perform in Ibadan.

The Grammy-nominated artist shared the story on X, explaining that he was picked up from Babcock University by Asa, Peju, B Red, and Sina to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour.

“In 2011, I skipped school to perform in Ibadan. Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock, and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour. I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble,” Davido wrote.

Fast-forward 14 years, Davido is now headlining his 5ive Alive tour across Nigeria, performing to massive crowds and collaborating with other prominent artists. Reflecting on the success, he added:

“14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.”

Beyond the music, Davido is encouraging fellow artists to invest in their homeland.

“To my peers, let’s build back home and give back to our roots. Big love to all our sponsors for backing this historic tour,” he said.

The tour is set to continue with upcoming shows in Abuja and Lagos, before heading to the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on November 20th to celebrate his birthday on the 21st.
