The ceremony took place at the Lisner Auditorium in Washington, D.C., drawing a mix of African and diaspora talents across entertainment sectors. Davido emerged ahead of a competitive field that included American rapper Gunna and fellow Afrobeats stars Rema and Tyla.
The win was announced by ChartsAfrica on X (formerly Twitter), further amplifying the achievement across digital platforms and fan communities.
Davido’s latest recognition underscores the growing global influence of Afrobeats, as Nigerian artists continue to secure nominations and wins on prominent international stages. Over the past decade, the genre has expanded beyond regional boundaries, gaining mainstream acceptance in North America, Europe, and other key markets.
Established in 2009, the Liberian Entertainment Awards celebrate excellence across music, film, fashion, sports, and community service. The platform is dedicated to recognizing Liberian creatives both at home and within the diaspora, while also honoring international figures who have made significant cultural impact.
For Davido, the award adds to an already extensive list of global honors, reinforcing his role as one of the leading ambassadors of Afrobeats on the world stage.
