Davido has shared how this season pulled him in. He says he was not watching at first. A chat with Adekunle Gold changed that in one night.

Davido recalls seeing Imisi’s photo and spotting instant star power. He then started to watch daily and back her strongly. Her win later drew focus at Imisi’s prize and SUV handover.
How Davido picked Imisi
According to him, Adekunle Gold asked if he watched the show. He said no, and Adekunle laughed and teased him. That small push led him to check the live feed.
Davido says he asked who stood out this year. Adekunle replied with the name Imisi and showed a picture. “Nah, this one’s got star energy,” he recalls saying.
From that point, he says the show hooked him fully. He began to tune in and track daily highlights. He adds he now sees why fans cheer the run.
Team pledge and fan push
He says he then told his team to stand behind her. They have been voting hard for her across the apps. He calls her a rare talent who earns support.
His wife, Chioma, later pledged cash support to Imisi. Her note praised this season as one of the best. Read more in Chioma Adeleke’s N10m pledge to Imisi.
