Global Afrobeats megastar Davido added another feather to his cap at the Headies Awards 2025, winning the Digital Artist of the Year award. Pulling up in a stunning white Agbada, Davido’s presence lit up the red carpet, reflecting his larger-than-life persona and incredible year.
The “Unavailable” crooner has been on fire, especially after the release of his 5ive album, which continues to dominate charts worldwide. His category at the Headies was one of the tightest, with massive names like Ayra Starr, Rema, Shallipopi, Tems, Asake, and Kizz Daniel competing, but Davido’s digital numbers proved unmatched.
Though Davido didn’t step up to receive his award due to backstage issues being handled after Odumodublvck’s emotional speech for Next Rated (which Davido presented), his win was loudly celebrated by fans and industry insiders.
Davido’s journey from a young artist with a dream to one of Africa’s biggest exports is nothing short of legendary. With multiple awards, platinum records, and sold-out shows globally, he continues to shape the Afrobeat narrative on the world stage.

As the Headies continues to spotlight Africa’s finest, Davido’s latest win is a reminder that he remains a driving force in not just Afrobeat but in global pop culture. The world is still very much tuned in to the 001!
