“Davido Recalls Cristiano Ronaldo’s Party Invite and What Happened After a Heartbreaking Loss”

Nigerian music superstar Davido recently opened up about his friendship with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, sharing a memorable story about a party invitation he received from the Portuguese star.

During an interview on the ABTalks podcast hosted by Anas Bukhash, Davido described Ronaldo as his “very good friend” and recounted the time he was invited to a party by the footballer. However, the celebration took an unexpected turn when Ronaldo’s team lost a match.

“Look at Ronaldo when he left the World Cup. He is my friend, by the way. He is my very good friend,” Davido said. “When he left the World Cup, I remember being on the internet, and the trolls were abusing him so much, even after everything that he has done.

Davido also expressed his admiration for Ronaldo’s resilience in the face of criticism. “It’s crazy being on top of the world and the next moment, you’re not,” he said. “Even with soccer, with football, you win all these awards, you win the Champions League, you win the World Cup, and people don’t still feel like it’s enough?”

The singer’s connection with Ronaldo dates back to 2017, when he paid tribute to the footballer in his hit song “Fall.” Notably, Davido is the only African artist that Ronaldo follows on Instagram.

This unique friendship between a global music icon and a football legend highlights the cross-cultural connections that transcend their respective industries.
