Davido Sets New Record with Africa’s Most-Watched TikTok Live
Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, known globally as Davido, has set a new record for the most-watched TikTok live stream in Africa.
The historic moment saw an impressive total of 389,800 viewers tuning in.
The session, which took place on Wednesday, October 30, saw Davido collaborating with popular TikTok influencers, Peller, Jarvis, and Jo Blaq.
The live stream captivated audiences, with over 164,000 people watching at the same time, making it an unforgettable event in Africa’s TikTok history.
During the session, Davido received a remarkable 377 lion gifts from fans.
These gifts, valued at $400 each, were sent in support and admiration for the superstar.
In a generous move, Davido later announced that he would distribute the funds earned from these gifts to his co-hosts, Peller, Jarvis, and Jo Blaq, acknowledging their roles in making the stream a huge success.
Before Davido’s groundbreaking record, Peller held the title for the most-watched TikTok livestream in Africa.
Peller, a well-known figure in the entertainment scene and the son of the famous Nigerian magician Professor Peller had previously set this record during a live stream featuring another music star, Tiwa Savage.
Davido’s record-breaking stream not only dethroned Peller but also marked a new milestone in African social media engagement, reflecting his immense influence and reach across the continent.

Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
