The song which features Davido, Trinidad Cardona and Aisha has already garnered over 15 million streams on Spotify.

He was supposed to perform at the start of the football tournament, but unfortunate incidents made it impossible for the megastar to take centre stage.

The performance was preceded by a social media post on which Davido announced his return through a picture of him and his partner Chioma. He also posted a picture of him and his Lawyer Bobo Ajudua and Manager Asa Asika.

The post was quickly met with hearty cheers by fans and colleagues who celebrated Davido's return after he withdrew from the public space following the tragic loss of his child.
