Afrobeats star Davido has shared new photos from his meeting with billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote in New York, offering another glimpse of the pair’s appearance at Times Square as the Dangote Petroleum Refinery’s public offer receives international promotion.
The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, posted the photographs on Instagram on Thursday, two days after sharing video footage of himself and Dangote beneath a large Nasdaq digital display in Times Square.
The billboard carried the message:
“Made in Nigeria. Built for the World.”
‘I had questions. He had answers’
Davido used his latest post to reflect on his conversation with Dangote, framing their meeting as an exchange between two generations of Nigerian success.
“When two generations of Nigerian ambition meet, the conversation is worth listening to.”
The singer said he had questions for the industrialist and also referenced their discussion about the ongoing public offer for the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals.
Their Times Square appearance has combined two very different faces of modern Nigerian business — one of the country’s biggest entertainment exports and one of its most prominent industrialists.
Why were Davido and Dangote in Times Square?
Their appearance was connected to the international promotion of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals IPO.
The public offer opened on September 14, 2026, and is scheduled to close on October 13, 2026. The official IPO portal lists 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each, with investors able to apply for a minimum of 10 shares — equivalent to ₦5,250.
The offer could raise about ₦2.15 trillion if all 4.1 billion shares are subscribed at the offer price.
The official offer website also cautions prospective investors that shares carry risk and directs them to read the prospectus and use approved subscription channels.
From Lagos to Times Square
The New York appearance comes as the refinery’s public offer is being promoted beyond Nigeria.
Video shared earlier by Davido showed him and Dangote standing below the Nasdaq display as people around them filmed the moment.
The new photographs give followers a closer look at the meeting, but Davido’s accompanying message suggests there was more to the encounter than posing beneath the billboard.
His conversation with Dangote touched on the refinery’s move to broaden ownership through the public offer.
For Davido’s followers, meanwhile, the sight of the Afrobeats star alongside one of Africa’s best-known industrialists in the heart of New York provided the moment that quickly drew attention online.
