Afrobeats star Davido is giving credit where it’s due, and this time, it’s to legendary music producer Cobhams Asuquo. In a recent Instagram story, Davido showed love to Cobhams for taking his live performances to the next level. “Thank you so much for redefining my stage craft. I love you and got you for life, big brother,” he wrote.
The appreciation comes during Davido’s ongoing 5 Alive tour, which has already seen him perform in front of packed crowds. One of the biggest highlights so far was his sold-out concert at the 19,000-capacity Scotiabank Arena in Canada, where fans noticed a major boost in his stage delivery and musical presentation.
Cobhams, who was named as music director for the tour, has clearly brought his touch to the shows. Davido’s set now includes more refined versions of his popular songs, instrumental solos, and fresh takes on old classics that keep fans on their toes.
During the Canadian stop, Davido thrilled the audience by bringing out Popcaan, Mayorkun, and Omah Lay to perform their joint hits. It was a night full of energy, and Davido’s stage presence felt more polished and powerful.
With this show, Davido joins Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema as Nigerian artists who have headlined the Scotiabank Arena. His 5 Alive tour follows the recent release of his fifth studio album 5ive, and he’s joined by supporting acts OdumoduBlvck, Victony, and Moravvey.
Next up, he’s headed to New York’s Barclays Center, and fans are eager to see how he continues to raise the bar with his performances.
