3. Unavailable certified silver in UK
On January 6, 2024, Davido's hit track, 'Unavailable,' featuring Musa Keys, achieved another milestone by attaining a BRIT silver certification in the United Kingdom. Known for its viral dance moves, the song has now surpassed 200,000 units in sales in the UK. Notable achievements include 'Unavailable' reaching No. 52 on the UK Singles Chart and claiming the top spot at No. 1 on the UK Afrobeats Chart. This success solidifies the international acclaim of the single, featured in Davido's fourth album, 'Timeless,' which itself set various first-week African streaming records.

2. Acquired new property in Eko Atlantic
In a notable move on January 15, 2024, Davido expanded his real estate holdings with the acquisition of a new property in Eko Atlantic, a prestigious residential development in Lagos State, Nigeria. This recent addition contributes to his extensive real estate portfolio, valued at over 30 million dollars. Widely recognized as one of the top ten artists in the Nigerian music industry, Davido has undeniably left a substantial mark on the Afrobeat scene. Buying the property in Eko Atlantic shows how hard Davido works and how dedicated he is to his music. This purchase makes him an even bigger deal, not just in music but also in real estate. It proves that he's doing well and making smart moves in both areas.
