David Adeleke, the famous Nigerian Afrobeats musician, who is professionally known as Davido, has talked some more about his album.

He opened up on why he chose not to pay tribute to Ifeanyi Adeleke, his late son, in his new album, ‘Timeless’.

Davido’s fans had thought the album would focus on the singer’s late son. However, Davido chose to be more entertaining with the album.

Speaking on Monday during a press conference ahead of the upcoming ‘Timeless’ concert scheduled for April 23 in Lagos, Davido explained that his goal was to release a classic album with minimal or no emotional songs to prevent followers from being emotional over the loss of his son.

He said, ”People who have been following songs for years can attest to this. I have always been a happy person, regardless of what I may be going through.

”If sad songs are to come, it will be an entirely different project on its own as I never had plans of combining them.”

Popular afrobeat and dancehall artist Davido has revealed that he had fears on releasing his new album, Timeless”.

According to Davido, he felt that his latest album ‘Timeless’ was his last chance to deliver an acceptable album. Speaking as a guest on the recent episode of +44 podcast, Davido said he felt he would either be broken or pull through with his 17-track album.

Davido disclosed he told his team to leave one hour before his album was released, prayed and then slept. When he woke up after over 3hours, he got scared because he didn’t see anyone celebrating his album.

“This is me telling myself the truth; this album was either going to make me or break me. People don’t want to say it to me in my face. But everybody knows the truth about the situation that is happening in their life whether they want to lie to them or not.

“There were situations when I was recording this album I was like ‘mehn! I’m going to go like this, I’m going to go like this?’

“So, when I slept and I woke up, my phone was not with me, so I was going crazy. I sent everybody away an hour before the album came out, I did my prayers, I laid down on my bed and slept. I now over slept.

“I wanted to just sleep for like one hour thirty minutes so that we will celebrate. I now over slept. Woke up by 3am. I said ‘Ye!’. I was looking for my phone because I have a big suite. I went to the living room, but there wasn’t anybody in my room celebrating. I was scared like ‘wettin dey happen na?’. “So, I ran downstairs and I banged my assistant’s door ‘what’s going on, what’s going on?’. He said ‘Oga, take your phone, congratulations’.”

Ace Nigerian singer, Davido Adeleke, has revealed why there were no ‘sad songs’ in his Timeless album as most people expected.

Speaking during a recent interview, Davido noted that he has always been a happy person, so he decided to maintain that energy, despite what he was going through.

The singer said:

“As a musician, I wanted to deliver a classic album with no much emotions. If you listen to Davido music over the years, from time, I have always been a happy person even when I am going through something or I am not.

“So that side of my life, if I want to talk about it, there’s time for that but on this album, that was not what I was going for.”
