Davido has been named among the artists featured on King’s Music Room, an exclusive playlist curated by King Charles III of England in celebration of Commonwealth Day 2025.
The playlist, unveiled by Buckingham Palace, highlights musical talents from across the Commonwealth, reflecting the King’s diverse appreciation for global sounds. Davido joins a prestigious lineup that includes Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and Raye, further cementing Afrobeats’ influence on the world stage.
King Charles III shared his inspiration behind the selection, emphasizing music’s power to evoke emotions and memories. “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me.

The playlist is set for release on Apple Music on March 11, offering a global audience a taste of Afrobeats alongside other Commonwealth musical influences. While Davido’s specific track on the list remains undisclosed, fans eagerly await its reveal.
This recognition further solidifies Davido’s status as one of Africa’s most influential musical exports, showcasing Afrobeats’ growing presence in contemporary pop culture.
