Davido Marks 33rd Birthday, Teases New Album
Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido marked his 33rd birthday today with an intimate gathering of family, close friends, and key members of his 30BG crew in Atlanta, United States.
The celebration brought together prominent figures from his inner circle, including billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke, uncle and Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke, sister Sharon Adeleke, cousins Nike and Folashade Adeleke, wife Chioma Rowland Adeleke, manager Asa, and longtime collaborator DJ ECool.
Held ahead of a sold-out concert at the 21,000-seat State Farm Arena as part of his ongoing 5ive Alive Tour, the event featured a lively atmosphere filled with music, laughter, and heartfelt toasts.
Videos circulating online captured Davido at the center of the festivities, surrounded by loved ones.
Reflecting on his path during the party, Davido highlighted his evolution from a teenage artist to a global icon.
He noted that he released his debut single at age 17 and now, at 33, views the past year as one of his most fulfilling.
“I dropped my first song when I was 17, and now I’m 33. This year is one of my best years ever; I got married to the most beautiful woman and we had our babies”, he said.
The singer credited much of this joy to his recent marriage to Chioma and the arrival of his twins.
Davido also generated buzz among fans by announcing progress on his sixth studio album, just seven months after the April 18 launch of his fifth project, 5ive.

Davido Slams Sophia Momodu’s Lawyer After Custody Case Is Dropped
Nigerian music star, Davido Adeleke, better known as Davido, has publicly called out the lawyer representing his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, following their recent court session over joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
Daily voice recalls that drama ensued during the court proceedings when Sophia’s lawyer questioned how Davido could guarantee Imade’s safety when he was unable to protect his son, Ifeanyi, who passed away in October 2022.
The lawyer’s comment ticked Davido off, who reportedly lost his cool and slammed the lawyer in the courtroom.
The court proceedings were halted for a while, and when the court reconvened, the judge asked Davido to apologise to the court and the lawyer, but the singer reportedly refused, insisting he can never apologise to the lawyer for using his deceased son against him.
Taking to social media shortly after the hearing, Davido did not hold back, accusing the lawyer of being unprofessional during the proceedings.
The singer also expressed anger that his late son, Ifeanyi, was mentioned during the session, describing the move as insensitive given what he and his wife have been through.
Davido further called the lawyer a wicked human being, insisting that he defeated her during the courtroom exchange.
He wrote, “@belachukwu I disgraced you in the courtroom. I was teaching you your work, you couldn’t even take it and then went on to mention my son… like I said in the courtroom. I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever… and you were still smilling smirking… You are a wicked human being. You are the worst lawyer ever. I beat you in court! you are not learned.”
