He was invited to "hit the golden spike"
Atlanta United FC reported during the week that DMW Boss Afrobeats King, Davido has achieved another milestone. He is now a Golden Spike Hitter.
Regarding the new role, Officialhiptv on Instagram wrote the following: Davido Creates New Record! Becomes The First African Artiste To Hit The Atlanta Golden Spike at The Mercedes Stadium (Same Stadium Kanye Used For His Album Listening Party) Which Kickstarts the Game.
It is noteworthy to know that Davido is the first African artist to perform Atlanta United's Pre-Match Ritual.
He was invited to "hit the golden spike", a ritual that is done before games held at the Mercedez Benz Stadium by MLS team Atlanta United.
Davido hit the golden spike before the club's game versus Columbus Crew which they narrowly lost 1-0.
Atlanta United shared the video of Davido performing their pre-game ritual via their Twitter page and wrote, "Atlanta born. Nigeria Made 🇳🇬 Afrobeats artist @Davido is your Golden Spike Hitter🔥"
This is not a big surprise, for Davido is native to Atlanta. According to Notjustok, Davido spent most of his life in Atlanta. The singer who is also an American citizen grew up in Atlanta and even went to school there before returning to Nigeria to kickstart his career. The DMW boss has a house for himself in Atlanta and goes there mostly whenever he's in the States.
