- Davido’s promise to celebrate the iconic South-East singer in Lagos led to a buzzing dinner that had fans buzzing even before the event ended.
Legendary highlife musician Bright Chimezie was given a royal treat in Lagos on Monday, May 19, 2025, as Afrobeats superstar Davido hosted him to a special private dinner filled with joy, culture, and emotional moments.
The intimate event was a fulfillment of Davido’s earlier pledge to honor the music veteran, and it quickly became the talk of fans and followers even before the night came to an end.
One of the evening’s standout moments occurred when Davido’s uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, made a surprise appearance via video call. In the viral clip, Chimezie greeted the governor warmly in Igbo, receiving a heartfelt response: “You are loved, sir,”—a moment many described as culturally rich and deeply respectful.
The celebration didn’t end there. In another delightful video that surfaced online, Chioma, Davido’s wife, was seen having an animated conversation with the highlife legend. The two, speaking fluently in Igbo, laughed and bonded, much to the admiration of fans across social media.
It was an unforgettable evening that bridged generations, celebrated cultural heritage, and honored one of Nigeria’s musical greats.
