So when I arrived at the 8 p.m. start time to see many sections of empty seats, I figured not many people would show up. Boy was I wrong.

Showcasing the depths of its impact became the thesis of Thursday’s concert.</p><p class="story-text " data-index="14">The show opened with rising acts like singer Emmerson and rapper Cuhdeejah, who both hail from Sierra Leone. While the former enchanted the crowd with his soulful tunes, the latter stunned with her relentless energy. In a surprising twist, legendary New York rapper Papoose hit the stage to perform an unreleased track with Cuhdeejah. His appearance seemed random. It made me want to learn more about his connection with the rapper and distracted me from listening to the song.</p><p class="story-text " data-index="15">Davido hit the stage around 10:30 p.m., which felt late to me but right on time for others. Most of the audience didn’t start arriving until 10 p.m. I knew I’d made the terrible mistake of arriving early. But Davido wasted no time in getting me on my feet. He performed his early-career fan favorites like “The Money,” “Gobe” and “Skelewu.” The audience erupted for “Aye,” a 2014 love song that, when performed live, shines for Davido drowning in the softness of its rosy lyrics.</p><p class="story-text " data-index="16">Later in the show, he floated in songs from “A Good Time” like “Intro,” “D&G,” “Risky,” “If” and (of course) “Fall. ”When he got to the “Sensational” (the Grammy-nominated Chris Brown track that’s currently dominating radio airwaves) part of the night, the crowd’s energy notably diminishes. But it picked back up when Davido stuck to his own songs like his latest single “Awuke.” Rising reggae star YG Marley, Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck and singer Kcee were among the night’s surprise acts aka the “friends” of the concert.</p><div class="c-image-component b-margin-bottom-d40-m20 image-landscape" data-index="17"><div class="image-component-image inline "><div class="enlargeImage-wrapper"><div class="lazyload-wrapper"><picture class="" style="display:none"><source srcSet="https://www.ajc.com/resizer/v2/QAY5KBIUOQMPFIG2IRYYG2SUA4.jpg?auth=debb5b50fa7fc8d90c0548ba8afe0650bd5b9562e6b19993e7332850ea5b9301&width=1000&smart=true" media="(min-width: 1200px)"/><source srcSet="https://www.ajc.com/resizer/v2/QAY5KBIUOQMPFIG2IRYYG2SUA4.jpg?auth=debb5b50fa7fc8d90c0548ba8afe0650bd5b9562e6b19993e7332850ea5b9301&width=1000&smart=true" media="(min-width: 768px)"/><img src="https://www.ajc.com/resizer/v2/QAY5KBIUOQMPFIG2IRYYG2SUA4.jpg?auth=debb5b50fa7fc8d90c0548ba8afe0650bd5b9562e6b19993e7332850ea5b9301&width=600&smart=true" alt="Davido rocked the State Farm Arena on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024 at his Davido & Friends Birthday Concert.

Davido didn’t perform until two-and-a-half hours after the set start time. There were large gaps in between sets for opening acts and special guests, which often made the show hard to follow. It probably would’ve made more sense to have Davido perform a bit earlier or ensure there were enough acts to fill in the breaks.</p><p class="story-text " data-index="21">But fans didn’t seem to mind. Davido was entertaining enough to not make the uneven start time a huge nuisance. And the band, known as the Compozers, delivered stellar instrumentation that kept the night afloat.</p><p class="story-text " data-index="22">Around a quarter to midnight, Davido closed the show with “Unavailable,” one of his biggest hits.

I covered education at The Virginian-Pilot from 1991 to 1994, then moved to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 1994 to cover finance. In 1995, I oversaw transportation, which included UPS and Delta Air Lines. In 1996, the Wall Street Journal hired me to be a small-business/entrepreneurship reporter until 2001. I returned to the AJC that year and wrote about nightlife, youth culture, radio and comedy. In 2005, I began covering TV and have since added film and other entertainment subjects. I've had the honor to interview Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Steven Spielberg, Billy Crystal and even Gallagher. I've been blogging since 2004. I've also been the paper's \"American Idol\" expert since day one in 2002. I love tennis, pop culture, karaoke and seeing live events, be it concerts, plays or comedy shows. I have an adorable adopted daughter named Vega.","org":"ajc","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ajcradiotv","author_type":"Staff","firstName":"Rodney","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"custom_ajc_phone":"404-526-5688","_id":"rodney-ho","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"/staff/rodney-ho/"},{"image":{"version":"0.5.8","url":"https://author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub/ajc/fd461979-03c2-4534-9cc2-eeb144fdc2c0.jpg"},"socialLinks":[{"site":"email","deprecated":true,"deprecation_msg":"Please use social_links.","url":"danielle.charbonneau@ajc.com"},{"site":"twitter","deprecated":true,"deprecation_msg":"Please use social_links.","url":"DCharCreative"},{"site":"linkedin","deprecated":true,"deprecation_msg":"Please use social_links.","url":"dcharcreative"}],"social_links":[{"site":"email","url":"danielle.charbonneau@ajc.com"},{"site":"twitter","url":"DCharCreative"},{"site":"linkedin","url":"dcharcreative"}],"name":"Danielle Charbonneau","description":"Danielle Charbonneau is a reporter with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.","_id":"danielle-charbonneau","additional_properties":{"original":{"lastName":"Charbonneau","image":"https://author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub/ajc/fd461979-03c2-4534-9cc2-eeb144fdc2c0.jpg","role":"Reporter","education":[],"longBio":"Danielle Charbonneau is an Arts & Entertainment reporter with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

I covered education at The Virginian-Pilot from 1991 to 1994, then moved to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 1994 to cover finance. In 1995, I oversaw transportation, which included UPS and Delta Air Lines. In 1996, the Wall Street Journal hired me to be a small-business/entrepreneurship reporter until 2001. I returned to the AJC that year and wrote about nightlife, youth culture, radio and comedy. In 2005, I began covering TV and have since added film and other entertainment subjects. I've had the honor to interview Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Steven Spielberg, Billy Crystal and even Gallagher. I've been blogging since 2004. I've also been the paper's \"American Idol\" expert since day one in 2002. I love tennis, pop culture, karaoke and seeing live events, be it concerts, plays or comedy shows.
