Davido Breaks Down in Tears at Friend Tiny’s Funeral
Davido has always been open about his bonds with the people closest to him. On May 29, 2026, he showed the world just how deep that loyalty runs. The Nigerian superstar broke down in tears at the London funeral of his close friend Igho Ubiribo, known to all as Tiny. AfrobeatsGlobal carries the full story.
The funeral service was held at the Church of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington, London. Members of the 30BG and DMW crews were present alongside family, friends, and many others who loved Tiny.
Furthermore, Tiny passed away on March 6, 2026, after suffering a heart attack while in the Philippines. He was 44 years old. The news sent shockwaves through Davido’s circle and across Nigerian entertainment.
What Davido Said at the Tiny Funeral Tribute
Standing at the podium, Davido struggled to hold himself together. He described Tiny as a man whose presence lit up every room he entered. His words carried the weight of genuine loss.
He said that referring to Tiny in the past tense was painful. In addition, he spoke about the energy, the loyalty, and the laughter that Tiny brought to everyone around him. The silence left behind is heavy.
However, what moved many watching was Davido’s visible grief as Tiny’s casket was lowered into the grave. A video of that moment went viral across social media, generating emotional reactions from fans everywhere.
Loyalty Is the Core of Afrobeats Culture
Notably, this is not the first time Davido has shown publicly that the people in his life matter more to him than the music or the fame. The 30BG is a brotherhood. Moments like this remind the world of that.
Meanwhile, even Cubana Chiefpriest, who attended the funeral, was seen in tears during the service. That level of collective grief says something powerful about the kind of person Tiny was.
As a result, AfrobeatsGlobal sends its condolences to Davido, the DMW family, and everyone who loved Tiny. His memory lives on in every person he touched.
