Award-winning Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has arrived in New York City to perform at an official event during the 78th United Nations General Assembly. The singer expressed his excitement about attending the assembly for the first time, sharing on his X handle, “Touchdown New York City for the #UN General Assembly… My first time attending should be interesting. Also performing tonight at one of the events! Catch me if you can!”
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is an annual gathering of world leaders, diplomats, and policymakers from around the globe, focused on discussing and addressing pressing global issues such as climate change, poverty, and international security. This year’s assembly, held at the UN headquarters in New York, has a special focus on accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Davido, who has been a vocal advocate for youth empowerment and social justice in Nigeria, will be performing at one of the high-profile side events aimed at promoting global solidarity and cultural exchange. His presence at the UNGA signifies not only his influence in the global music scene but also his role as a representative of African youth and culture on the world stage.
The event will also feature other prominent figures and performers who have been at the forefront of using their platforms for advocacy and change. Davido’s performance is expected to bring a unique Afrobeat flair to the assembly, showcasing the richness of African music and culture.
In addition to his musical career, Davido has been involved in several philanthropic activities, including his foundation, which supports education and healthcare initiatives in Nigeria. His participation at the UNGA further cements his commitment to using his voice and influence to make a positive impact globally.
