Davido, Nigeria’s Afrobeats star, has been announced as the headline performer for this year’s ‘Glo Battle of the Year’ grand finale.

The organisers of the talent reality TV show announced this in a statement on Friday.

The statement said the ‘OBO’ singer, alongside other soon-to-be-announced entertainers, will give fans and contestants a “memorable night.”

“Davido is one of Nigeria’s biggest afrobeat exports. Proudly Nigerian, he remains a positive influence who embodies Globacom’s brand essence of empowering Nigerian youths to unleash their unlimited potential,” the statement read.

“He will be joined by other soon-to-be-announced A-list artists, to give our subscribers as well as fans of the show a world-class experience.”

The talent reality TV show, which is now in its 9th episode, will hold its grand finale on April 30, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.

The finale will be broadcast live on GloTV and NTA. The semi-finals will take place on April 23.

The ‘Glo Battle of the Year Nigeria’ had its premiere on February 5, and will air its 10th episode today.
