Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has been named an inductee into the 2026 Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.
The organisers announced the singer as part of this year’s class ahead of the induction ceremony scheduled for June 1 in Atlanta’s Historic Westside.
The recognition, which honours individuals for their influence on Black culture and global music, places Davido alongside other 2026 inductees, including American rapper Ludacris, gospel singer Paul Morton, and former Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson.
By this induction, the singer joins the ranks of other African icons previously honoured by the body, such as the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
The Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame was established by the Black American Music Association and the Georgia Entertainment Caucus to celebrate entertainers who have shaped the global entertainment industry. Inductees are honoured with plaques placed along the walkway in Atlanta.
