Davido joins Kick as the platform lands another music star
Afrobeats star Davido says he is moving to Kick, which welcomed him publicly on October 10 — with no deal terms or start date disclosed.
Afrobeats star Davido, born David Adeleke, has announced a move to livestreaming platform Kick. Kick welcomed him on its official X account on October 10, a day after the singer said on October 9 that he would be joining the service, and he replied in upbeat terms about getting started.
For creators watching the platform race, the draw Kick markets is familiar. Launched in 2022 as an alternative to Twitch, Kick lets creators broadcast gaming, music, conversation and real-life content, and under its published policy eligible creators keep 95 per cent of subscription revenue, with tipping also available during streams.
What this deal is worth, and what it will look like on screen, is still unknown. Neither Davido nor Kick has disclosed financial terms, confirmed an exclusive arrangement or a guaranteed payment, or said when his first livestream will happen. For now the public exchange is the confirmation — another headline music name testing a creator-first pitch, with the details left to follow.
