Charly Boy, born Charles Oputa, has been in the spotlight for many decades.

He is best known for his alternative lifestyle, political views, and media productions notably The Charly Boy Show.

The ace singer has served as president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN).

In September 2022, Charly Boy said he paved way for half of the big monies in Nigeria’s music industry.

“I’m responsible for half of the stuff that you see now, for the big money in this industry. There was an influx of foreign artistes to the detriment of Nigerian artistes but I stood up to all of that,” he had said.

Davido’s influence has increasingly grown in the music space in more than 10-year span of his music career.

In January 2016, he signed a record deal with Sony Music but later founded DMW, his record label, to which acts like Dremo, Mayorkun, and Peruzzi are signed.

Davido, so far, has three albums to his name, the last of which was ‘A Better Time’ in 2020.

In December 2022, he performed at the closing ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
