Ananzo, excited by Davido's invitation, reposted the news on social media. His post reaffirms that Davido's love for his music promotion efforts has garnered traction online.
Before inviting Ananzo to Nigeria, the Afrobeats singer had given the Ghanaian viral sensation $5k.
The money was to express Davido's appreciation after a video of Ananzo singing With You, a song from the 5ive album, went super viral on TikTok.
The 30-second viral video of Ananzo passionately singing Davido's song kickstarted their relationship.
With the latest gesture from Davido, it appears Ananzo has joined the privileged list of Davido's closest Ghanaian friends which includes blogger GH Hyper and Stonebwoy.
Fans happy for Ananzo after Davido's offer
YEN.com.gh gathered a few comments from netizens in reaction to Davido's invitation to Ananzo.
@Your_Blackness said:
"Grace and hard work are two different things. When Grace knocks on your door, you won’t have to exhaust your energy all in the name of hard work; the least effort blossoms. Glad this young chap is winning, it’s a pedestal set for him to make a headway in life. Cheers 🥂 man!"
@GrokProfit wrote:
"See how the entire Nigeria is celebrating you. If it were a Ghanaian artist showing this much love to Nigerian fans, Ghanaians on Twitter would be upset, saying things like, “Why would a Ghanaian artist ignore their own people to support Nigerians?” Just like they did with Peller and Stonebwoy. Honestly, Ghanaians need to rise above this mindset and grow up."
@Mawunya noted:
"I like this for you brother. This is your time…..enjoy the moment and every bit of it."
@LHbreaking commented:
"Davido just dropped a visa in the comment section like it’s airtime 😂. My guy didn’t even apply — just smiled and boom, “Come Nigeria” 🛬🔥 Faith + Fame = Shortcut to Japa."
