Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he would still chase a music career even if he weren’t famous, emphasising the depth of his passion for the craft.

Davido noted that beyond the glitz and fame, it is his love for music that keeps him grounded and motivated to create, innovate, and connect with fans globally. He also spoke about the priceless connection he shares with his supporters, which he said is one of the most meaningful aspects of his journey.

“I hope I still have the same passion, I’d probably try again…but it depends on my age,” he said.

He added, “One flex I have is that money didn’t buy is natural love from my fans. You can’t buy that type of love. I’ve had fans come from far away, and concerts range from new fans to the old fans; my catalogue is huge.”

Looking back on his career, Davido shared advice he would give to his younger self: “It’s going to be a long journey, many ups and downs, smiles and frowns, but you’d get there.”

He also noted that when he started, his dreams were nowhere near as big as what he has achieved today. “That’s how God works,” he said.

David Adeleke, the popular Nigerian singer, who is also known as Davido, has said he doesn’t regard cannabis, commonly called weed, as a hard drug.

The singer stated this while discussing his foundation’s planned donation to orphanages and fight against drug abuse on the latest episode of The Morning Hustle podcast.

Davido said some people are accusing him of being a hypocrite for donating to fight against drug abuse while still smoking weed but he doesn’t regard weed as a hard drug.

He said: “This year, I’m donating to the fight against drug abuse among youths. I don’t count weed as a hard drug. Some people are saying I smoke weed but I don’t count weed as a drug.

“A lot of people have been going through a lot recently. Drug addiction is becoming rampant. So I want to donate to that cause to help them quit.”
