Global Afrobeats superstar Davido caused a stir in the nation’s capital today, January 8, 2026, during an unannounced visit to the Seyi Vodi headquarters and tailoring academy in Wuse 2.
The “Timeless” singer arrived at the prominent fashion house located at 3 Kampala Street, where he was greeted by a massive crowd of tailoring students, staff, and fans.
Videos circulating on social media platforms like Instagram show a jubilant atmosphere as the artist navigated through the workshop, with students briefly pausing their lessons to cheer and record the encounter.
A Longstanding Partnership
Davido’s visit reaffirms his long-term relationship with celebrity designer Seyi Adekunle, the founder of Vodi Group. The fashion house has long been a preferred choice for the singer’s traditional and bespoke attire.
During the visit, Davido spent time interacting with the aspiring tailors at the Vodi Academy, an initiative aimed at professionalising the garment industry in Nigeria. Sources close to the fashion house suggest the visit may be linked to upcoming custom designs for the artist’s 2026 tour schedule.
Impact on Local Fashion
The presence of the megastar at the facility is seen as a significant endorsement for the “Made in Nigeria” fashion movement. Seyi Vodi has previously hosted various high-profile figures, but the energy surrounding Davido’s visit today marks one of the academy’s most high-profile moments of the new year.
As of Tuesday afternoon, “Davido in Abuja” has begun trending on local social media, with fans praising the artist for supporting indigenous businesses.
