Following the release of the sequel to 1988’s Coming To
America on Amazon Prime, viewers took to Twitter to commend the
Nigerian-American star on his performance.
Davido, 28, performs his song Assurance in a scene of the
movie as Eddie Murphy reprises his iconic role as Prince Akeem in the long-awaited
sequel.
In a video, which the singer posted on his social media
account, he was seen watching his performance in the movie on a television set.
Davido said, “It was an absolute pleasure sharing a set with
a few legends that held the key to my childhood laughs.
“The sheer effort, work ethic and attention that goes into detail in creating art like this, is way more astounding than I could ever imagine. I had to experience it to understand. Thank you @amazonstudios!! It was an absolute pleasure and I’d do it all over again! Coming 2 America out now! Everyone go watch it!! Tag your favourite boy when you see him.”

The singer is seen wearing a floral suit as he performs during
a party scene in the film, which has gone down very well with viewers.
The film sees Eddie return as the newly-crowned King Akeem
Joffer who returns to Queens, New York, to honour his father’s dying wish for
him to find his long lost son.
The actor revealed that he was so happy with how the movie
ended up turning out after fans had warned him not to ‘f**k it up’.
He told Antonio Banderas for Variety: ‘I’m just over the
moon with how it’s turned out.
‘I don’t know what it is about that movie, but that’s the
one movie that I’ve done that, like, on Halloween people dress up like the
characters, and people always say lines from that movie to me.’
Coming 2 America is available to stream on Amazon Prime now.
