Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared what his life might look like if fame never came his way.
Naijaonpoint reports that during a chat with Okay Africa, the singer revealed that his passion for music would likely remain unchanged, even if he did not become a global sensation.
The father of four also revealed a unique source of pride that money cannot buy, genuine love from fans.
He described this support as pure and irreplaceable, explaining that fans have gone out of their way just to attend his concerts, no matter the distance.
The singer said his shows attract both new and long-time fans, thanks to his vast music catalogue that continues to grow.
Despite being in the spotlight, Davido noted that he does not keep many secrets.
“My life is pretty out there,” he said.
On the global success of Afrobeats, Davido opened up about the responsibility that comes with it.
He recounted how he moved to the United States to study music full-time and began introducing Nigerian music and culture to friends.
In Atlanta, he worked hard to get clubs to play his songs, and with time, his tracks started topping local radio charts.
But he admitted it has not been an easy journey.
Looking back at 2011, when his hit song Dami Duro was released, Davido said he would tell his younger self that the road ahead would be long and filled with both joy and challenges.
Back then, he did not even dream of reaching the level he is at now.
Davido also shared his early influences in the music industry.
Though he listened to a lot of hip-hop while growing up, he eventually fell in love with Nigerian music in his teenage years.
Artistes like D’banj, Don Jazzy, 2Baba, and P-Square played a major role in shaping his musical taste and ambition.
