The City of Houston in the United States of America, USA, has declared July 7 as Davido Day in honor of Nigerian afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, aka Davido.

The Mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, made the proclamation in a statement released in Houston, Texas, on Friday.

He declared, “I, Sylvester Turner, Mayor of the City of Houston, do hereby proclaim July 7, 2023, as Davido Day.”

Davido shared a copy of the statement via his Instagram story.

The Mayor made the proclamation following Davido’s sold-out show at the iconic Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Mark Dayton, Governor of Minnesota, declared October 6 as Wizkid Day.
