International Afrobeats singer, Davido has reacted excitedly after discovering that Grammy winner, Rihanna likes his song and viral dance.
A video which surfaced on social media captured the moment Rihanna and her baby daddy, A$AP Rocky were at an event and OBO’s hit song ‘Unavailable’ was playing in the background.
The Barbadian-American singer immediately started executing Davido’s signature dance step in tune with the rhythm of the music.
Reacting to the clip, the ‘FIA’ crooner took to his Twitter account and declared that the song he dropped is akin to being a pandemic.
“I made a pandemic,” the DMW boss tweeted.

Budding singer, Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, also known as Joeboy, has disagreed with his colleague, Burna Boy’s comment that 90 percent of Afrobeats artistes release songs that have no lyrical substance.
Burna Boy had riled up social media when he said in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, that the genre is “literally nothing”.
However, Joeboy faulted the statement in the latest episode of the Zero Conditions podcast, as he noted that every artiste has substance based on relativity.
The host asked: For you as an afrobeats artiste, how much balance do you do with living life because following the conversation of Burna Boy saying [afrobeats] artists don’t have substance, how much experience do you try to garner as an artiste?
Joeboy responded: I feel everybody has substance. It’s just based on what people relate to. Sometimes when you made a high tempo song that is danceable, people feel like you are just vibing. Or if you don’t sing in English. I used to see some comments [on social media] because somebody is singing in plain English, they [fans] would be like, ‘Ah pinging!’ What’s pinging? Because he sang in English?
