Global Afrobeats star Davido Adeleke celebrated his 33rd birthday in grand style with a historic, sold-out concert at the 21,000-capacity State Farm Arena in Atlanta, the city where he was born. The show marked his third consecutive sell-out at the iconic venue—a remarkable feat for any artist and a record-setting achievement for an African performer.
A Night of Surprises and Star Power
The birthday concert quickly became the talk of the diaspora community as Davido delivered a charged performance full of electrifying moments. Fans roared as surprise guests, including YFN Lucci and Ghanaian sensation King Promise, joined him on stage, adding even more excitement to the already energetic night.
The atmosphere shifted into a powerful emotional moment when gospel legend Kirk Franklin led a heartfelt prayer for Nigeria. The entire arena stood in silence as he called for unity, peace, and blessings for the country—an act that resonated deeply with the largely African audience.
Honoring His Roots and His Journey
Davido performed wearing a custom jacket paying tribute to his late mother, a personal touch that drew applause from fans touched by his vulnerability and connection to family. His father, Billionaire Adedeji Adeleke, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and several close friends and family members were present to celebrate his milestone birthday.
As he closed the U.S. leg of his 5ive Alive Tour, Davido delivered a blend of high-energy hits from his fifth studio album alongside classics that have shaped his decade-long dominance in Afrobeats. From “Feel” to “FIA” and “Aye,” the crowd sang every word, turning the concert into a massive birthday celebration.
A Milestone Year for OBO
Halfway through the show, Davido paused to reflect on how far he has come since entering the music industry as a teenager.
“I dropped my first song when I was 17, and now I’m 33. This year is one of my best years ever, I got married to the most beautiful woman and we had our babies,” he said to thunderous cheers.
His gratitude to fans, family, and his team echoed throughout the arena, reinforcing why Davido continues to remain one of Africa’s most successful and beloved artists.
