Afrobeats megastar Davido is taking his global journey to the screen. The Nigerian music icon has officially partnered with Netflix to release an upcoming music documentary that will chronicle his rise to fame, personal challenges, and lasting impact on African pop culture.
The streaming giant confirmed the partnership in a statement released today, calling the project “an intimate look at one of Africa’s most influential music voices.” The yet-to-be-titled documentary will feature never-before-seen footage from Davido’s early days, behind-the-scenes clips from global tours, and personal moments with his family and team.
Speaking on the collaboration, Davido shared:
> “This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for a long time — the real me, my journey, my losses, my wins. Grateful to Netflix for believing in the vision.”
The documentary will also explore the making of his 2023 Grammy-nominated album “Timeless,” the tragic loss of his son in 2022, and his powerful comeback that redefined his career and reinforced his legacy.
Netflix has been steadily increasing its African content portfolio, and this marks a major move in celebrating Afrobeats culture and its global influence. Fans around the world are already buzzing on social media, calling the announcement a “historic moment for Nigerian music.”
Music insiders say the project is expected to debut early 2026, with a trailer anticipated later this year. The documentary is being directed by award-winning Nigerian filmmaker Kemi Adetiba, known for “King of Boys” and her dynamic storytelling approach.
Davido’s Netflix deal follows a growing list of African artists stepping into film and documentary work, reflecting a broader trend of creatives expanding their narratives beyond the stage.
As anticipation builds, this project is shaping up to be more than just a music documentary—it’s a cultural milestone.
