Davido Supports Dangote Refinery IPO at Times Square

On September 22, 2026, singer Davido joined billionaire Aliko Dangote at Times Square to mark the international attention gained by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals’ Initial Public Offering. Prior to this event, Davido shared a video of himself with Dangote on a bus, emphasizing their relationship.

Davido revealed that he invested in the Dangote refinery before its shares were publicly available. His connection with Dangote dates back to his childhood, as Dangote has been close to the Adeleke family, with Davido recalling that Dangote drove his mother home after his birth.

This personal history has influenced their relationship, with Dangote providing financial advice to Davido over the years, particularly on saving money. Their recent appearance together showcased the depth of their bond, which has evolved alongside Davido's rise as a prominent music star and entrepreneur.
