Afrobeats icon Davido has officially taken center stage at one of music’s most prestigious institutions. The star headlined the “Spotlight: Davido” event at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles on Monday, December 1, 2025. The intimate evening featured a career-spanning conversation and a special live performance, further solidifying the Nigerian artist’s growing influence in the global music sphere.
Held in the museum’s 200-seat Clive Davis Theater, the event was a deep dive into the creative process of the five-time GRAMMY-nominated star. The conversation focused heavily on his latest album, 5IVE, and the album’s standout track, “With You” (featuring Omah Lay), which is nominated for Best African Music Performance at the upcoming 68th GRAMMY Awards in 2026.
The Davido Grammy Museum Spotlight is a rare platform reserved for artists whose work has made a significant cultural impact. Davido used the opportunity to connect personally with the audience, sharing stories about bridging cultural gaps and his journey to becoming a global force. He emphasized that the recognition symbolizes the successful rise of Afrobeats worldwide.
By hosting this high-profile event, the GRAMMY Museum acknowledges Davido’s role as a forerunner in connecting African music to global audiences. The sold-out Davido Grammy Museum Spotlight performance was a perfect way to celebrate his current GRAMMY nomination and set the tone for his continued expansion into the North American market.
