Davido Lights Up Ughelli as He Graces High Chief Wayles’ 60th Birthday Celebration

Afrobeats superstar Davido once again proved why he remains one of Africa’s most admired entertainers after making a notable appearance at the 60th birthday celebration of High Chief Emonena Victor “Wailey” Wayles in Ughelli, Delta State.

The singer arrived promptly at the high-profile event, a move that quickly reignited a popular sentiment among fans online—that Davido always shows up when called, regardless of distance, status, or location. His presence added extra star power to an already lavish celebration, widely described by attendees as a complete shutdown.

The birthday ceremony featured opulent gold-themed décor, live performances, and a gathering of traditional chiefs and prominent guests at the celebrant’s residence. Davido’s arrival instantly became a highlight, with fans and guests praising his humility and willingness to honour invitations beyond the usual celebrity circuit.

Social media reactions poured in shortly after, with many applauding the singer for remaining grounded despite his global success. Supporters described him as accessible, loyal, and deeply respectful of local traditions—qualities they believe set him apart from many of his peers.

Another moment that caught attention was Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, whose confident stride ahead of the singer sparked playful reactions and memes online. While the internet had its fun, many fans also applauded Israel’s professionalism, noting his behind-the-scenes role in ensuring Davido’s movements and engagements run smoothly.

From an opinion standpoint, Davido’s appearance in Ughelli speaks volumes about the kind of stardom he embodies. Beyond the wealth, awards, and sold-out arenas, he continues to show respect for community, culture, and relationships. In an era where fame often creates distance, Davido’s willingness to show up—whether for royalty, fans, or local celebrations—reinforces his image as a superstar who never forgets his roots.
