A TikTok video by @legitngnews shows global Afrobeats superstar Davido in Kano, Northern Nigeria, where he was spotted shopping for high-end Abayas for his wife, Chioma. The singer, who recently attended the 2026 Grammy Awards, appears to be taking some downtime to treat his spouse to traditional Northern fashion.
The visit caused a stir in the ancient city as locals gathered to catch a glimpse of the “OBO” (Omo Baba Olowo). In the footage, Davido is seen interacting with merchants and selecting various intricate designs, reinforcing his public persona as a devoted husband despite the constant spotlight on his personal life.
This public display of affection comes on the heels of Davido’s recent revelation about his Grammy-nominated track “With You.” The singer disclosed that the hit nearly didn’t make it onto his “5IVE” album, a project that has further cemented his status as a leading voice in the global “Soul” and “Afro” fusion movement.
Davido’s presence in Kano also highlights his influence across different Nigerian regions, transcending his Lagos roots. Fans on social media have praised the singer for promoting local Northern fashion, with “Abaya” trending shortly after the video went viral.
* TVC News highlighted the singer’s recent activities, noting: “Davido remains a central figure in both the music and lifestyle sectors of Nigeria.”
* NewsNow Nigeria confirmed the sighting: “Video of OBO shopping for Abayas for wife Chioma in Northern Nigeria trends.”
Echotitbits take: Davido is a master of “reputational pivot.” After the high-stakes pressure of the Grammys, a wholesome “husband duties” trip to Kano is the perfect PR move to stay relatable. It also subtly reinforces the “30BG” brand’s dominance in local Nigerian commerce.
