Nigerian Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, recently delivered a scintillating performance at the grand wedding of Indian media personality Alkesh Thavrani to his partner, Sheetal Mazda, in Udaipur, India.
The event, which took place on December 6, 2024, was nothing short of spectacular as he was reportedly paid a whopping $10 million for his performance.
Davidido’s arrival in Udaipur was a big deal.

He twirled in appreciation, beaming with joy at the warm and regal welcome. All in all, the singer brought an extra touch of glamour and excitement to already lavish celebrations.
He made several of his hit tracks play on the night, including audience favourites like “If,” “Unavailable,” “Feel,” “Awuke,” and his recent release titled “Funds.” Those who attended danced all through the night with energy after his performance—one more reason he is now one of Afrobeats’ most rated artists in the world.

Rumour had it that Davido charged $10 million, an equivalent of about ₦17 billion, for his performance; the information instantly became popular on social media.
Reaching out on this guesswork in a light manner, Davido took to Instagram to repost the now-viral report and trolled the groom when he posted, “#AlkeshThavrani where my balance?” In a different post, the singer insinuated that he had received his fees from the couple but still had fans wondering how much and teased them using light-hearted phrases.

It indeed serves as clear testimony to the fact that music is a universal language that can bring people together across cultures and continents.
