David Adeleke, the Nigerian hip hop singer, who is popularly known as Davido, is set to launch a new venture.

The singer has partnered with the Abu Salami Media and 1XBet to launch a model football talent hunt programme tagged ‘Davido Dream Football Show.’

DDFS is an initiative for advancing youth football, especially at the grassroots level, through a designed curriculum that has potential to develop fundamental technical skills and tactical awareness in young players who are committed to competing at the highest levels.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Abu Salami Media, Abu Salami, who doubles as Chairman of DDFS, the programme is aimed at empowering and supporting young male football talents between ages 18 and 22 within Nigeria and around Africa.

Davido, the DDFS president, said, “We all know impact is essential and a show like this will not only engage the minds of the youths, it will birth meaningful changes and opportunities for youths across Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

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.”

“I was scared to release my album Timeless” – Davido

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

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’.”
