Afrobeats icon Davido has created history as the first male still-living artist to grace the cover of Rolling Stone Africa on its March/April 2025 cover. This accolade highlights Davido’s outstanding influence on Afrobeats and his pivotal roles in showcasing African music to the global stage. As a trailblazer, he has constantly set the direction for the genre and amplified its popularity worldwide.
Through chart-topping tracks like If, Fall, Blow My Mind, and Unavailable, Davido has not only carved himself as a successful music career, but also as a record label executive, mentor, and cultural ambassador. Rolling Stone Africa’s cover story captures his uplifting life, from his initial performance at 19 with Dami Duro to his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive. It pays tribute to his resilience, creativity, and lasting impact in the African music industry.
According to gistlover, his achievement has been acknowledged by industry players like Obi Asika, Director General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture, and D.R. Bellegarde Smeralda, CEO of Rolling Stone Africa. Both praised Davido’s contribution to Afrobeats and his efforts in advancing Pan-Africanism, further cementing his status as a global ambassador of Nigerian music, culture, and fashion.
