Davido Celebrates Birthday, Internet Erupts With Messages and Memories”
Today, the world pressed pause for one reason and one reason only: it’s Davido’s birthday, and nobody celebrates like Nigeria celebrates OBO!
From the second midnight hit Lagos, social media turned into one giant 30BG carnival. #DavidoDay shot to number one worldwide and refused to leave, hashtags multiplied like pure water sachets, and every timeline became a love letter to David Adeleke. Fans dug out throwback clips from the “Back When” and “Dami Duro” era, posted crying emojis over old Instagram lives, and shared testimonies of how his music pulled them out of darkness. One viral thread simply read: “Davido raised us, now we raise glasses for him.”
This is never just a birthday; it’s a global festival. Traffic slows in Lagos because drivers are busy tweeting “OBO baddest!” University students skip lectures to trend the hashtag. Aunties in Computer Village are shouting “Tule jor!” while fixing phones. Even the exchange rate paused out of respect (okay, maybe not, but it felt like it).
Davido didn’t just have a big year; he had the kind of year artists dream about and still wake up jealous. Sold-out arenas across continents, history-making performances at Madison Square Garden, new anthems that shut down clubs from Ibiza to Joburg, surprise features that broke the internet, and still enough time to jump on Instagram Live at 3 a.m. just to vibe with fans. He turned every city he touched into a 30BG parade and every release into an instant classic.
But the love pouring in today isn’t just about the music. It’s about the man. Fans are reminding the world how he gave away hundreds of millions to orphanages and posted every single account number for transparency. How he flies across states to surprise fans at their weddings. How he shouts out the next generation before the industry even notices them. How he cries with strangers, dances with grandmas, and turns every comment section into family reunion.
The celebrities showed up in droves. Wizkid posted a simple “Happy birthday bro ❤️” and the timeline nearly crashed from shock and joy. Burna Boy shared an old photo with “See wetin God do.” International brothers from Chris Brown to Lil Baby to Quavo filled his mentions. PSG star Achraf Hakimi, Keke Palmer, even football clubs—everybody came bearing love.
Chioma, the queen herself, shared the sweetest video of the twins holding “Happy Birthday Daddy” signs, and Nigeria declared national tears of joy. Imade’s adorable singing clip had the whole country screaming “Imade na our president!” The entire Adeleke family turned up—Uncle Governor doing legwork included—and reminded us that royalty runs in the blood.
Davido woke up, thanked God first (as always), shouted out the fans who have been riding since day one, and promised that the best is still loading. “You people turned my life into a movie,” he wrote. “I dey enjoy the film too much!”
And that’s exactly what today feels like: the biggest blockbuster premiere on earth, starring the boy who never forgot where he came from and somehow still ended up everywhere.
So we’re not just saying Happy Birthday.
We’re saying thank you—for the soundtracks, the generosity, the joy, the proof that one man can carry an entire continent on his back and still dance while doing it.
Happy Birthday, 001.
Happy Birthday, Omo Baba Olowo.
Happy Birthday, the living proof that when they say “We rise by lifting others,” they’re talking about you.
Today, the whole world is 30BG.
Tomorrow too.
And the day after that.
Tule, King. We no dey tire! ????????
