Davido and D’Banj friendship
Over the years, D’Banj and Davido have shared a beautifully supportive and respectful friendship—marked by memorable reunions, heartfelt appearances, and collaborative energy. In 2012, D’Banj lent his star power to Davido’s “Omo Baba Olowo” album launch, setting the tone for their enduring camaraderie.
Fast forward to 2017, when Davido orchestrated a nostalgic Mo’Hits reunion, reuniting with D’Banj and Don Jazzy in a performance that thrilled fans and celebrated their musical legacy. The bond continued when Davido honored D’Banj during his BET Awards appearance, further highlighting their mutual appreciation and respect.
The most recent testament to their connection came in August 2025, when D’Banj delivered a soulful rendition of his timeless hit “Fall In Love” at Davido’s lavish wedding reception in Miami, adding a romantic flair to the elegant celebration.
In a candid interview on Streetz Studio with Et Cali, the Afrobeat sensation (known for his chart-topping “Skelewu”) recalled serendipitously meeting Don Jazzy and D’Banj as a 14‑year‑old in Atlanta. He vividly described a youthful gesture of hosting the duo—picking them up from the airport and showing them around town—where they spent upwards of $20,000 at a nightclub in a single night. That extraordinary experience ignited in him a compelling vision and inspired a bold decision: he dropped out of school and returned to Lagos, determined to pursue his dream of becoming a celebrated musician.
