Award-Winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, recently raised eyebrows following his new video as he takes his stage craft to a whole new level.
While most singers typically perform with DJs at shows, tours, and concerts, a new video of Davido rehearsing with his crew ahead of his 5ive Alive Tour has sparked a lot of buzz.
The clip emerged online just hours after Davido and his wife, Chioma Adeleke, warmed hearts with a video of themselves enjoying a meal and having fun aboard a private jet.
While performing with his live band, Davido appeared noticeably calmer than usual as he and his band members seamlessly blended their sounds, gearing up to wow the audience at the Essence Festival on Saturday, July 4, 2025.
The singer performed some of his songs from his new 5th album, known as 5ive, during the rehearsal.
