Nigerian music sensation, Davido, has once again warmed the hearts of fans as he fulfilled his promise to host veteran highlife musician Bright Chimezie at his Lagos residence. This heartwarming encounter comes days after the Afrobeats star publicly acknowledged that Chimezie’s iconic track Because of English served as the inspiration behind his own recent release, With You.

True to his word, Davido flew the highlife legend into Lagos and received him personally in a grand gesture of respect and admiration. A video now circulating widely on social media captures the moment Chimezie arrived in one of Davido’s luxurious vehicles. Upon arrival, Davido was seen rushing out to warmly welcome the music veteran, helping him alight from the car and ushering him into his home like royalty.

The gesture has drawn a flood of praise from fans and music lovers alike, with many commending Davido for bridging generations in the Nigerian music scene.

One user, @Greatpeter02, commented: “I so much like and respect Davido. I love the way he hosted the legendary Bright Chimezie.”

Another, @russell2n9t, wrote: “Chaii 🙌🏾. Excess love n respect to OBO. As BIIG as he is, he still personally came to welcome Sir Bright Chimezie. Soon the world will realize how human n better Davido is to Wizkid in a few years when they clock 40+.”

Not all the feedback was entirely glowing, however. @Zeekellyfunds noted: “To be fair I think Davido should have visited him instead, but I know it’s all love from Davido’s POV.”

Still, many applauded the PR savvy behind the move. “Davido is a good guy and he knows how to play the PR game very well,” wrote @69Defi.

This latest act of homage from Davido highlights a growing trend among younger Nigerian artists to honor the legends that paved the way for them, reinforcing the rich legacy and intergenerational strength of Nigerian music.
