It's official! Nigerian superstar and multi-award winner, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is set to thrill Kenyans on May 21st.

This will not be the first time Davido will be performing in the 254, with the last time being during the much-hyped 30 Billion World Tour Concert which was held at Uhuru Gardens on November 24, 2018.

The news of his imminent performance was received with so much excitement from Kenyans who love and adore Davido, who's brand and catalogue has gone over the roof since his last appearance in Kenya.

Davido is however not the only West African star set to thrill Kenyans with Rema, also another Nigerian artist set to perform at the Mwanaume ni effort fest on 7th May.

With the influx of West African artists flocking into the country for the last few months, we take a look at others who have brought the party to Kenyans.

Omah Lay

The 'Understand' hit maker was in the country last year where he performed at the much-anticipated Pizza and Wine Festival which took place at the Royal Gardenia Gardens.

Burna Boy

The African giant has made several trips to Kenya way before he became a big shot in the international scene.

Burna performed in the country for two years in a row with the second one (2018) coming at the back of his infamous 'peasant' comment which was aimed at Kenyan fans.
