David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is a prominent Nigerian musician who will perform at the Qatar 2022 World Cup’s closing ceremony.

Since the passing of his son Ifeanyi, the music celebrity has avoided social media and public appearances, save for his uncle Ademola Adeleke’s inauguration ceremony. However, he has now revealed that he would be performing in Qatar.

Stephen Hung, a Chinese businessman, announced the news on Thursday via his Instagram account.

“So thrilled my bro #davido confirmed he will be performing at the World Cup Qatar closing ceremony,” Hung exclaimed in his tweet. I’m excited to meet him there.

On December 18, there will be a ceremony marking the end of the World Cup.

At the World Cup Fans Festival in Qatar, Nigerian artist Kizz Daniel also gave a performance, delighting the crowd with his hit song “Buga.”

In the footage shared on social media, the ecstatic crowd could be seen dancing and yelling.

Last week, Patoranking, another Nigerian singer, also played at the FIFA Fan Festival at Doha’s Al Bidda Park.
