Davido sings of joy, the pleasures of flirting and of love... Although sometimes he calls on the haters to shut the hell up, as for example on the track Fem, one of those songs you can’t get out of your head after hearing it just once. Last October, it took on wider significance when it was adopted as an anthem by Nigeria’s youth during their demonstrations against police violence (the movement #EndSARS). A popstar with 18 million followers, David Adedeji Adeleke, as he was born, ended up joining the movement himself: on 18 October, he appeared at a demonstration in Abuja, the capital, and found himself on the front line, trying to stop the police from charging as they fired live ammunition into the crowd. “It was absolutely crazy,” he recalls, his voice tight with emotion. “The police were really firing at us... It’s hard for me to talk about it. We weren’t doing anything wrong, we were demonstrating peacefully. That they should react so violently... It’s really sad.” Afterwards he used his fame to bring the movement’s appeals – that gratuitous po- lice violence and harassment finally cease – to the attention of those in power, when he was received by Femi Gbajabiamila, spokesperson for the national assembly. Live-streamed, the event heralded a new role for Davido, one that earned him as much criticism as it did praise. “I just wanted to use the opportunity I had, thanks to my fame, to take the people’s message to parliament,” he explains, with a just a hint of weariness in his voice.
