Now at 33, he described this past year as one of his best ever.
"I dropped my first song when I was 17, and now I'm 33. This year is one of my best years ever, I got married to the most beautiful woman, and we had our babies," Davido declared to the cheering crowd.
Family Support and Celebrity Presence
The birthday celebration became a proper family affair with several notable relatives in attendance. His uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, joined the festivities, alongside Davido's father Adedeji Adeleke, elder sister Sharon, and numerous cousins.
