Following the recent celebration of his uncle Ademola Adeleke’s political milestone in Osun State, global Afrobeats titan Davido returns to the spotlight with the official release of the visual treatment for “Tell Everybody,” featuring Grammy-winning American R&B artist and producer Leon Thomas.
Lifted as a standout track from Davido’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Oriadé, the romantic anthem gets a sweeping, cinematic adaptation that brings its unapologetic message of loud, public devotion to life.

Directed with a grand, regal vision, the visual sets the story within a sprawling, high-ceilinged estate adorned with gold-framed portraiture, massive crystal chandeliers, and expansive mirrors. Davido steps out in a series of striking looks—transitioning from a sharp black velvet tuxedo to a sky-blue suit styled with gold-trimmed lapels, dark-tinted glasses, and an embellished crown-like cap that pays direct homage to the Yoruba concept of Oriadé (“the crowned head”).
Co-star Leon Thomas brings a smooth, polished aesthetic to the screen, complementing the mood in a cream-patterned jacket, two-tone trousers, and a black leather durag. Together, the pair exchange smooth verses while an ensemble of dancers clad in Victorian-inspired couture perform sharp, synchronized choreography across lush ballroom floors and grand wooden staircases.
Produced by Pontus Persson, “Tell Everybody” seamlessly bridges West African rhythms with contemporary R&B. The narrative centres on choosing to love openly rather than quietly—a theme rooted in Davido’s declaration to broadcast his affection to the world, balanced by Thomas’ soulful admission that true connection demands public recognition.
