Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has been honored with the Best International Act award at the 2026 Liberian Entertainment Awards (LEA). The prestigious ceremony, which marked the return of the LEA after a five-year hiatus, was held on April 25, 2026, at the Lisner Auditorium in Washington, D.C..

Davido emerged victorious in a highly competitive category, fending off strong contenders including South Africa's Grammy Award-winning artist Tyla, Nigerian counterpart Rema, and American artists Gunna and Fridayy. This latest accolade further solidifies Davido's status as a leading global music export from Africa and underscores the growing international influence of Afrobeats.

The Liberian Entertainment Awards aim to celebrate and elevate Liberian talent on a global scale, while also recognizing outstanding international artists who make a significant impact in the industry. The event's return was themed "The Return of Greatness," highlighting its significance in celebrating cultural achievements.

Davido was unable to attend the ceremony in person, and his award was accepted on his behalf by his promoter, Duke. This win adds to Davido's extensive list of international honors, which includes past BET Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, and MOBO Awards, reinforcing his consistent global appeal and significant contributions to the Afrobeats movement.
