Nigerian music star Davido has paid an emotional tribute to his late friend Denis Ukonho, popularly known as Tiny or Ego, during his funeral abroad. The singer, who lost Tiny in March after a heart attack, delivered a heartfelt speech that moved many to tears.
Davido's Tribute to Tiny

“I won’t lie, it is not easy when someone like Tiny leaves. His absence is heavy; it doesn’t feel real. A man of so much energy, so much presence. The silence is heavy. He is not someone I ever thought I would be speaking about in the past tense,” Davido said.

Davido's Uncompleted Structure at Eko Atlantic
In related news, a video of Davido's investment at Eko Atlantic recently trended. A Lekki influencer shared footage of the singer's land, revealing that Davido plans to build a 16-bedroom luxury mansion on the property. The singer had acquired the expanse of land for a residential project, not a factory as some speculated.
