Davido recently invited highlife legend Bright Chimezie to Lagos, bridging generations of Nigerian music in a heartfelt moment of respect and connection.
- Davido was inspired by Chimezie’s classic “English for Key” during his recent collaboration with Omah Lay.
- A warm phone call led to Chimezie’s invitation and eventual visit to Lagos to meet the Afrobeats star.
- A video of their joyful meeting showed both artists in high spirits, celebrating their shared musical journey.
This meeting is more than just two artists connecting — it’s a rare moment of cross-generational reverence. Davido’s gesture honors the past while pushing the sound forward. For Chimezie, it’s long-overdue recognition from a new wave of Nigerian music royalty.
Could more artists follow Davido’s lead in celebrating Nigeria’s musical heritage? In an industry moving fast, remembering where we come from might just be the next trend.
