Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has secured a place on King’s Music Room, an exclusive playlist curated by King Charles III to celebrate artists from across the Commonwealth.
Personally selected by the King, the playlist features music icons such as Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and Raye, alongside Davido—highlighting the monarch’s diverse musical taste.
Davido’s inclusion underscores his growing global influence and the rising prominence of Afrobeats on the world stage.
In a statement released on Friday, King Charles III expressed his deep connection to music, saying:
“Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. It has a remarkable ability to bring back happy memories, provide confidence in times of sadness, and transport us to distant places. Above all, it can lift our spirits to an incredible degree. In other words, it brings us joy. I wanted to share the songs that bring me joy, as it seemed an interesting and meaningful way to celebrate Commonwealth Day. Thank you for listening—I wish you every possible blessing.”
Davido’s feature marks a milestone for African music, further solidifying its impact on global pop culture.
The King’s Music Room playlist will be available exclusively on Apple Music in celebration of Commonwealth Day 2025, set for March 11. While the specific Davido song featured remains undisclosed, fans eagerly anticipate the official release.
