Afrobeats megastar Davido has sparked excitement online after unveiling the person currently inspiring him the most.
The singer shared a screenshot of a video call on his Instagram story, pairing it with the caption: “Woke up to my biggest inspiration.”
The image quickly stirred curiosity among fans, but the mystery didn’t last long. On the other end of the call was none other than Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, the football star whose recent exploits have reignited national pride.
Osimhen was Nigeria’s hero in yesterday’s World Cup qualifier against Gabon, where he netted a brilliant brace to keep the Super Eagles’ hopes for a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive.
His performance dominated conversations across social media, with fans, pundits, and celebrities applauding his determination and class.
Davido’s public admiration adds yet another layer to Osimhen’s growing cross-industry influence, proving that his impact now stretches far beyond the football pitch.
As Afrobeats and Nigerian football continue to shape global conversations, this moment between two of the country’s biggest stars showcases a powerful blend of inspiration, pride, and mutual respect.
In other news, Davido recently took fans down memory lane with a heartfelt post reflecting on his humble beginnings and how far he’s come in his remarkable journey.
The Grammy-nominated artist reminisced about a defining moment back in 2011, when he skipped school just to perform in Ibadan, a move that, at the time, got him into serious trouble but ultimately became part of his origin story.
Sharing the story on X (formerly Twitter), Davido wrote:
“In 2011, I skipped school to perform in Ibadan. Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock, and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour. I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble.
14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books.”
