Afrobeats sensation Davido has set a striking example of unity and empathy in the entertainment world, as he interrupted his electrifying performance at Detroit’s Afro Nation concert to pay homage to the late mother of his rival and colleague, Wizkid.
The heartwarming tribute not only moved the audience but also underscored the strength of solidarity within the Afrobeat music scene.
In an unprecedented and touching display of camaraderie, Davido seized the moment to reflect on his own experiences with grief and express his condolences to Wizkid, who recently lost his mother, Mrs. Jane Balogun.
A close friend of Wizkid had confirmed the sad news, revealing that she had passed away after a brief illness on August 18. The poignant pause in Davido’s performance not only emphasized the bond between musicians but also spotlighted the broader humanity shared by these artists.
