Afrobeat superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has once again proven his entrepreneurial prowess with the official launch of his petroleum and gas company, CHIVIDO OIL AND GAS PLC, in Atlanta, USA.
The global music icon, known for his chart-topping hits and influence across Africa, is expanding his empire beyond entertainment into the energy sector. The new venture reportedly enjoys the backing of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, who will supply the oil and gas for the business — a partnership that signals a powerful alliance between music and industry.
Davido, who has consistently championed wealth creation and empowerment among young Africans, described the venture as a step toward building “generational wealth and legacy.” Fans and industry watchers have hailed the move as a bold diversification from entertainment to energy, underscoring Davido’s growing reputation as a visionary businessman.
With CHIVIDO OIL AND GAS PLC, Davido joins the ranks of Nigerian celebrities transforming fame into sustainable enterprise. As one fan aptly put it on social media, “From ‘E Choke’ to empire — Davido is redefining success.”
The business officially begins operations later this year.
