Nigerian
musician, Davido has earned another accolade to his name after TIME
listed him among 100 next global influential leaders.
 Davido
TIME Magazine's list of 100 Next Influential Leaders of 2021 has been released.
One exceptional Nigerian, Davido made the list.
The singer whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke achieved a remarkable milestone with the new feat.
The 2021 TIME100 Next issue features six worldwide covers, each
highlighting a member of the list: performer Dua Lipa, actor Maitreyi
Ramakrishnan, athlete Marcus Rashford, Prime Minister of Finland Sanna
Marin, fashion designer Telfar Clemens, and author Brit Bennett.
Writing about Davido, TIME noted:
"
Davido is one of the biggest voices in Afrobeats because his
music connects with people, often in ways that transcend his
expectations. When he released the song “FEM” in 2020, a title that
loosely translates to “shut up” in Yoruba, he didn’t know it would
become a major #EndSARS protest anthem, as youth banded together to
demand the government take action to end police brutality in Nigeria
last October. Officials responded by sending politicians to give
speeches. We told the government to keep quiet unless they had something
sensible to add—the ethos of “FEM” was directly relatable to that
moment.
You can tell Davido puts 100% into every song he makes. And the
results are clear: his album A Good Time surpassed a billion streams in
2020. Afrobeats is a worldwide phenomenon, and Davido is one of many
Nigerian artists who has made that possible; now more and more artists,
from Nicki Minaj to Young Thug, want to work with him.
By bringing Afrobeats to the global stage, he’s paved the way for people like me." |
