“You Can’t Talk About Afrobeats Without Mentioning Me” – Davido Declares His Impact
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, has confidently addressed his significant impact on the global afrobeats movement, insisting that his contributions are too essential to ignore.
Known for his hits like Skelewu, Fall, and FIA, Davido made this declaration in a recent feature with TheBeatJuice magazine, stating, “Afrobeats can’t be brought up without my name. Impossible.”
The Nigerian superstar has undeniably played a major role in pushing afrobeats into mainstream popularity, both in Africa and internationally.
His career took off in the early 2010s, and since then, he has delivered countless chart-topping songs, collaborated with global icons, and performed on some of the biggest stages, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the World Cup Closing Ceremony.
Often grouped alongside fellow Nigerian megastars Wizkid and Burna Boy, Davido has been part of the trio that has defined the modern afrobeats sound.
However, like his peers, Davido has expressed discomfort with being limited to the “afrobeats” label.
In a previous appearance on the Business Untitled Podcast, he voiced his concern about the tendency to categorize all African artists under the afrobeats umbrella, regardless of their unique sounds.
He explained that while he primarily describes his music as “afro-fusion”—a blend of afrobeats, pop, R&B, and other influences—he’s not opposed to being tagged with the afrobeats genre.
He understands the broader significance of the term and how it has helped African music gain international recognition.
“I don’t get offended when we’ve been categorized as afrobeats,” he said, “We need a genre.
It could be R&B or afropop. I call my music afro-fusion, but I’m not insisting that people label it that way.
I know how long it took for African music to become mainstream.”

Justin Bieber has finally addressed the swirling rumors about a possible split from his wife, Hailey Bieber.
Speculation about the couple’s marriage had been trending across social media for weeks, with many assuming their relationship was on the rocks.
The pair, who tied the knot in September 2018 and welcomed their first child in August 2024, have been under public scrutiny lately.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Justin appeared to respond to the negativity with a mix of honesty and frustration.
He shared a reflective message about grace and forgiveness, saying guilt isn’t erased by church attendance or Bible reading, but by accepting God’s forgiveness.
“Jesus forgives the people the world refuses to,” he wrote, admitting that while people treat him badly, he tries to stay grounded by remembering his own flaws.
He acknowledged being hurt by rumors but confessed that he, too, can be hurtful at times. “Hurt people hurt people,” he added.
Justin ended the post with a message many saw as a direct clapback: “If I were you, I’d probably be jealous too. Me and Hailey are going brazzzzzy. I get why people can’t stand it — I really do.”
His message seems to shut down the divorce chatter while giving fans a rare, raw glimpse into his mindset.
Bain, a member of the K-pop group Just B, made headlines after opening up about his sexuality during a concert in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old surprised fans by revealing he’s gay, a rare move in the Korean music scene where artists often keep their personal lives private.
While performing a solo, Bain proudly said he’s part of the LGBTQ+ community, prompting the audience to erupt in cheers.
He went on to share a heartfelt message: “To anyone out there in the LGBTQ+ community or still figuring things out — this is for you. You are seen, you are loved, and you were born this way.”
Korean outlet News1 reports that Bain is the first male K-pop idol to come out publicly.
After the show, fellow bandmate Siwoo shared a touching message on a fan platform, saying, “I was watching from backstage and I cried too. I cried even more because I knew how hard it was for him.”
