Davido the peacemaker.

What better way is there to live in a world that is full of so much chaos than to be a peacemaker. It is valid to say that for this year, Davido deserves an award as the chief peace maker in the Nigerian Music cum entertainment industry.

Starting from making peace with the Ovation Boss, to his reconciliation with his then arch rival, Wizkid to the point of even calling him his new best friend. (Who thought the day would come?) He went further to bring the estranged Mo’Hits Crew together for the first time since their breakup. Again, the singer asked that there should be unity in the industry as he spoke on the beef between the then Psquare duo.
