Nigerian music superstar Davido has shared a heartfelt message of support and solidarity with the people of Kenya as the country grapples with widespread unrest and youth-led protests.
In a brief but powerful post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, the Afrobeats icon wrote, “Peace and love to my people in Kenya 🇰🇪🕊️ Stay strong. We’re with you.”
The message comes at a time when Kenya is experiencing one of its most intense waves of civil demonstrations in recent years, with thousands of Gen Z protesters taking to the streets to demand accountability, justice, and economic reforms. The protests, which began in opposition to controversial tax measures, have since grown into a broader movement against corruption, police brutality, and poor governance.
Davido’s show of support was quickly picked up by Kenyan fans and netizens, many of whom flooded his post with messages of appreciation. Several users praised him for standing with Kenya during what many are calling a pivotal moment in the country’s democratic journey.
“Thank you for standing with us, Davido. This means a lot,” one user wrote. Another replied, “African solidarity is powerful. We are stronger together.”
The Nigerian singer, who enjoys a massive following across East Africa, is among a growing list of global figures and influencers showing support for Kenyan youth as they push for change. His words echo the sentiment of many young Africans across the continent who see the current events in Kenya as part of a larger generational awakening.
As protests continue and tensions remain high, calls for peace, reform, and justice are ringing louder—both from within and beyond Kenya’s borders.
