Davido is heading to the Ashanti Region. The Nigerian superstar is billed to headline The Davido Experience at NYC Hotel in Manso Akwasiso this Sunday, 15 November, as the hotel marks its third anniversary, according to YEN.com.gh.
The show is the work of businessman Kwaku Abonee, popularly known as Great Osama, who owns the hotel and chairs the Amansie South Small-Scale Miners Association, as YEN.com.gh reported. When news of the booking first spread earlier this month, many people online doubted it was real. According to GhanaWeb, Davido has since confirmed in a video shared on social media that he has been booked for the event, although YEN.com.gh reported on Thursday that the singer had yet to comment publicly on the show. A promotional flyer puts the start time at 9pm, YEN.com.gh added.
“Davido is such a humble person”
Osama has now spoken about how he landed the star. In an interview on Angel FM, he said it took persistence. “It wasn’t easy. These artistes will be moving left and right, and when they get to know that you are serious about it, they will know you are serious and eventually agree,” he said, as quoted by GhanaWeb. “Davido is such a humble person.”
He also made a remark that is sure to get people talking. “Some of our very own artistes demand a lot compared to what Davido is asking for,” he said, adding: “My prayers are that he comes and goes back safely. I am doing this event for everyone to benefit from it.”
Excitement went up another notch this week when a TikTok clip showed Osama on a video call with Davido, ending with “See you very soon”, YEN.com.gh reported. Kumasi station Y FM also confirmed that its own DJ Maxido is on the bill, in a post on X.
What about the fee?
A figure of US$600,000 has been doing the rounds on social media, but neither Davido, his management nor the organisers have confirmed how much the show cost, according to YEN.com.gh.
Manso is the second stop of a big Ghana weekend for Davido. He is also headlining Tidal Rave 2026 at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra on Saturday, 14 November.
