We could not be more excited to welcome Davido to the PUMA family!” said Johan Kuhlo, PUMA’s General Manager EEMEA Distribution in a statement Friday.
“Throughout our history, PUMA has had strong roots in Africa, football and beyond. Signing Davido is both a clear commitment to Africa as a key market and a sign that African culture is becoming more and more relevant globally”.
Recall that, Davido recently bagged an ambassadorial deal with Wema Bank earlier this month which has made the Year 2021 a year of ambassadorial deals for the artiste.
