A heartwarming video showcasing a little boy delivering a powerful performance of superstar Davido's song 'Away' has taken Nigerian social media by storm, capturing the hearts of netizens nationwide.
Mini Davido Steals the Show at Kids Concert
The viral clip, originally shared on TikTok by a user @kassyloveth on December 5, 2025, documents an unexpected highlight from a children's music event. The user humorously captioned the moment, suggesting attendees had unknowingly met 'Davido' at the kids' concert. In the over-two-minute video, the confident youngster takes center stage, microphone in hand, with the instrumental track to 'Away' playing in the background.
Flanked by a group of other children in matching outfits who served as his backup dancers, the boy performed with impressive gusto. He mimicked Davido's signature mannerisms and style perfectly, singing the lyrics word for word without missing a beat. His infectious energy and accurate rendition created an electric atmosphere.
Audience Shows Appreciation with Cash Spray
The boy's captivating performance did not go unrewarded. Members of the live audience were so delighted and amazed that they stepped forward in a classic Nigerian show of appreciation: spraying him with money. This act of 'spraying' currency is a traditional way to celebrate and reward exceptional talent at events, and the young performer earned every naira.
The song 'Away' is a track from Davido's critically acclaimed fourth studio album, 'Timeless', which was released on March 31, 2023. The album's widespread popularity clearly extends to the younger generation, as evidenced by this fan's flawless performance.
Netizens Celebrate the Young Talent
Reactions compiled from social media platforms reveal how deeply the video resonated with Nigerians. User BO$UN? noted how Davido's music connects with all ages, while _deronke? pointed out the authentic joy of the instrumentalists watching the performance. Many comments focused on the boy's precision.
"Nobody is talking about how he sang the song perfectly without mixing words or biting his lips," observed user Baby_Peace ❣️?. Others, like nora, playfully inquired about the mini-star's performance fees, joking about affording his show versus the actual Davido's. The overwhelming sentiment was one of joy and admiration for the child's talent and confidence.
This incident highlights the pervasive influence of Afrobeats and artists like Davido in Nigerian culture, inspiring even the youngest fans. It also follows a pattern of similar heartwarming content, such as a recent report by Legit.ng of a boy passionately singing Davido's 'Stand Strong' using a TV remote as a microphone, and a man resembling the singer performing 'For The Road'.
