Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again proven his deep respect for music legends and his commitment to honoring those who came before him. Days after publicly appreciating veteran highlife musician Bright Chimezie for inspiring his song With You, Davido has now warmly welcomed the icon to his Lagos home.
It would be recalled that Davido recently revealed that Chimezie’s classic track Because of English was the creative spark behind his own song. In a heartwarming gesture, the Timeless singer vowed to host the music legend in Lagos, a promise he has now fulfilled.
In a video circulating online, Bright Chimezie can be seen arriving at Davido’s luxurious Lagos residence in style, chauffeured in one of the Afrobeats star’s flashy cars. Upon arrival, Davido excitedly rushed out to greet the highlife maestro, embracing him warmly and making sure he felt at home.
The gesture has earned Davido widespread praise from fans and fellow musicians alike, with many applauding his humility and reverence for Nigeria’s musical heritage.
Bright Chimezie, who rose to fame with his unique zigima sound; a fusion of highlife, traditional Igbo music, and satire is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of socially conscious music in Nigeria.
With this thoughtful act, Davido not only honored a legend but also bridged generations of Nigerian music, reminding fans of the importance of celebrating cultural icons while they’re still here.
Moments like these continue to cement Davido’s legacy not just as a global music force, but as an ambassador for unity, gratitude, and respect within the music industry.
