Afrobeats titan, Davido has earned new Platinum and Gold certifications from Music Canada, reminding the world once again that his sound isn’t just for Lagos streets or London clubs—it’s global currency.
Leading the latest haul is Unavailable, that amapiano-laced banger from Timeless. Now certified Platinum in Canada, the song didn’t just chart—it lived in playlists, dancefloors, and TikTok scrolls. Davido didn’t ride the amapiano wave—he repackaged it for export.
But this isn’t about just one hit.
Two of OBO’s classics—If and Fall—also touched Platinum. Those songs didn’t just break ground; they broke ceilings. If was the love song that found its way into Western playlists before Afrobeats was trendy. Fall? That was the cultural Trojan horse—disguised as a love song but really a continent-wide entrance into the North American mainstream.
The Gold plaques tell their own story too. Feel, the mellow standout from Timeless, proved that Davido’s strength isn’t only in rhythm—it’s in emotional resonance. Then there’s Risky, a crossover moment with Popcaan that fused Afrobeats and dancehall with surgical ease. Blow My Mind with Chris Brown? A textbook case of how to blend Naija flavor with R&B smoothness.
