Davido is known for his influence which transcends music and entertainment, cutting across culture, politics, and other layers of the human experience. He’s very intentional about being involved in other things aside from his music, and his decision to involve himself and his brand in a growing part of Nigerian sports.
He joins other celebrities like Don Jazzy and Dbanj as club owners in the league. Don Jazzy owns Supremos FC while Dbanj owns Koko FC. They compete with other club owners for a cash prize of 50 million Naira. The competition has some rules and guidelines that provide order to the level of decisive actions allowed.

The matches will be broadcast live on YouTube and the finale of the competition is scheduled for 27th December.
