Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke, remains one of Afrobeats’ biggest stars, with a global fanbase and numerous accolades, including Grammy nominations for “Unavailable” in 2023 and “Sensational” with Chris Brown in 2024. His upcoming album 5ive is highly anticipated, and the Davido Be There Still dance video is a strategic move to keep fans engaged. As noted in a Rolling Stone article from March 2025, Davido emphasized the importance of prioritizing his African audience, saying, “I always tell artists, ‘Always have that home love first. Then, you could take over the world.’
The dance video also taps into a broader trend of Afrobeats artists using choreography to enhance their music’s reach. Similar to how dance challenges on platforms like TikTok have propelled songs like Rema’s “Calm Down” to global success, Davido’s video could inspire fans to create their own dance content, further boosting the song’s visibility.
