Afrobeats star David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has commended Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama following his speech at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Departing from standard diplomatic protocols, President Mahama opened his address by sharing his personal heritage with the international assembly, detailing his birthplace and family background to offer a humanizing perspective on his leadership.

The personal introduction quickly gained traction online, catching the attention of the Nigerian singer, who reposted a clip of the address on his Instagram Story with a message of appreciation.

Davido’s engagement at UNGA coincides with his presence in New York for high-profile side events, including the Times Square digital billboard launch for the Dangote Refinery IPO, where he was recorded interviewing billionaire Aliko Dangote on public share ownership across Africa.
