In a landmark moment, Davido has become the first male living artist to adorn the cover of Rolling Stone Africa’s March/April 2025 issue.
This achievement underscores Davido’s profound influence on Afrobeats and African music globally.
As a trailblazing Afropop sensation, Davido has played a pivotal role in shaping Afrobeats and elevating African music on the world stage.
With a string of hits like “If,” “Fall,” “Blow My Mind,” and “Unavailable,” Davido has built an empire that extends beyond music, encompassing his roles as a record label owner, mentor, and cultural ambassador.
Rolling Stone Africa’s cover story delves into Davido’s remarkable journey, from his debut at 19 with “Dami Duro” to his upcoming fifth studio album, “5ive.”
The feature highlights his resilience, innovation, and lasting impact on African music.
Davido’s achievement has been met with praise from industry leaders, including Obi Asika, Director General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture, and D.R. Bellegarde Smeralda, CEO of Rolling Stone Africa.
Both commended Davido’s contributions to Afrobeats and panafricanism, solidifying his status as a global ambassador for Nigerian music, culture, and fashion.
