Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour solidifies his 001 status in Afrobeats over Wizkid, Burna Boye-YolyBoy

Nigerian Afropop artist, Aaron Anthony, known as YolyBoy, has sparked conversations online after saying that Davido’s five-alive tour has once again proven his 001 status in Afrobeats — ranking him above Wizkid and Burna Boy in terms of impact, fan connection, and nationwide presence.

YolyBoy made this statement during an interview on NAS FM 89.9, while speaking about Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour in Nigeria and his upcoming performance in Adamawa State.

According to him, Davido (OBO) has achieved what few artists have — connecting every region of Nigeria through music, energy, and humility.

“If you watch what’s happening with Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour, you’ll see that OBO has proven again why he’s called 001.

Love is everywhere — from the South to the North. Nobody connects with people like Davido does,” — YolyBoy said on NAS FM 89.9.

The video clip of the interview is already circulating online, gaining thousands of reactions and igniting discussions among 30BG, Wizkid FC, and Burna Boy Outsiders fanbases.

The 5ive Alive Tour, led by Davido, has become one of the biggest musical events in Nigeria this year.

The tour kicked off in Akwa Ibom on October 26, moved to Adamawa on October 29, then to Ibadan on November 9, Enugu on December 1, and will close with a grand finale in Lagos on December 25.

YolyBoy praised Davido’s consistency and accessibility, saying the singer’s ability to make every region feel included is what sets him apart.

“Wizkid and Burna Boy are great, no doubt. But Davido is the people’s artist — he brings everyone together. You can’t fake that kind of connection,”— YolyBoy added.

YolyBoy’s remarks have quickly turned into one of the most discussed Afrobeats topics online.

While 30BG fans supported his statement as “speaking facts,” members of Wizkid FC and Burna Boy’s Outsiders pushed back, calling the comment too biased.

Still, many industry watchers agree that Davido’s Five Alive Tour has been unmatched in terms of crowd size, emotional energy, and media attention.

Several blogs have already picked up the Nas FM 89.9 interview video, with clips trending across Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter) — further boosting YolyBoy’s visibility in national entertainment conversations.

YolyBoy is one of the rising Afropop voices from Northern Nigeria, known for his unique fusion of northern melodies with modern Afrobeats.

He currently has over 50 tracks on music stores, including three albums, 20+ singles, and several cover songs on YouTube, where his channel is monetized and growing fast.

His music reflects authenticity, humility, and street consciousness — qualities that resonate with many new-generation listeners.

YolyBoy’s NAS FM remarks have not only positioned him as a bold commentator in the Afrobeats scene but also highlighted him as one of the few young artists unafraid to speak his truth about the industry’s biggest names.

As Davido’s 5ive Alive Tour continues across Nigeria, many see it as more than just a concert series —it’s a statement of dominance and connection.

From Akwa Ibom to Adamawa, and soon Lagos, Davido (OBO) has maintained massive turnout and fan love that remind everyone why the 001 title fits him perfectly.

For YolyBoy, this moment isn’t about competition but acknowledgment.
“This tour isn’t proving Davido is better — it’s showing why people love him differently.

He’s made Afrobeats a family thing, not just a fame thing,”— he concluded.
