Davido’s Performance at Ghanaian Billionaire’s Party Sparks Mixed Reactions

Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again found himself at the center of online discussions after his performance at Ghanaian billionaire Richard Nii Armah’s birthday party went viral. While some fans praised the singer’s energy, others were less impressed, criticizing his vocal delivery and stage presence.

In the trending video, Davido performed some of his hit songs, but many netizens claimed he sounded off-key and lacked his usual high-energy stage presence. This led to a heated debate among fans, with some suggesting that he should focus more on perfecting his live performances.

Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics

Several social media users wasted no time in expressing their opinions.

A user, @aremogucci001, commented:

“This one just be like upcoming.”

Another, @zhouv9, added:

“Zero vocals, noise always.”

Some even compared Davido to fellow Afrobeats star Wizkid, with one user, @creamycozy, saying:

“Wizkid is their godfather, the father that fathered their fathers. Popsy dey ever give me reason to brag differently.”

However, not all the reactions were negative. Some fans defended Davido, arguing that the audience at the party simply wasn’t engaged enough to sing along. @phemonz_ wrote:

“These people don’t show love at all as they can’t sing along with him.”

Opinion: Is Davido’s Live Performance Declining?

Davido has built a reputation for high-energy performances and massive crowd engagement, making him one of Africa’s biggest music exports. However, criticisms about his live vocals are not new. While artists like Wizkid and Burna Boy are often praised for their smooth live performances, Davido has occasionally faced scrutiny for relying on energy over vocal precision.

That said, it’s important to acknowledge that not every performance will be perfect, and factors like sound setup, fatigue, or even audience energy can affect a show. Should Davido invest more in vocal training? Or is this just another case of social media overreaction?

What do you think? Was Davido’s performance below par, or are people just being too critical? 👇
