Davido joins Kanye West in MLS match and hammers Atlanta United’s Golden Spike

The Afrobeats music star was a guest at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium as Rob Valentino's side extended their winless league run to 10 matches

African music star Davido joined American rapper Kanye West for the Major League Soccer match between Atlanta United and Columbus Crew on Saturday night.

It was a homecoming outing for Davido, who was born in Atlanta to Nigerian parents, and he was accorded the special honour of hitting the Golden Spike in a fully-packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The hammering of the Golden Spike is a tradition at Atlanta United that is performed by the player voted by fans at the end of every game.
