She sent the whole place bouncing as she performed the popularly “Jiggle & Whine” hit song with Stonebwoy, who was certainly mesmerised with the energy from the Queen of Dancehall.
Another intriguing moment of the Bhim Festival was the highly anticipated performance of Nigerian Afrobeats star, Davido.
It was a standstill moment, and the lighters were up when Davido came up on stage as he performed the “Activate” hit single with Stonebwoy.
The Nigerian superstar spent about 20 minutes on stage to thrill fans with some of his hit songs, including “Unavailable,” “Blow My Mind,” among others.
