The singer affirms his willingness to always stick to the entertainment industry

 

Nigerian superstar Davido sits down with the Afroboss DJ Edu to discuss his time in music, how he’s maintained his relevance after 11 years of success, what he looks forward to doing in the future.

The singer explains why every successful singer has to be focused.

He says: “As an artist, you have to know your vision and what you want.

"Be free with people and the gatekeepers in the industry. At every event I always greet the DJ’s, I know how I started. I appreciate them even at my highest level.”

Then he reveals that since he's made it in the world of music, it is time to evolve into other things.

“With music, I plan to branch out to other things. I am now working on my Netflix documentary it is going to be amazing.”

Davido says: “Music will always be my primary- I am working on a tv game show. I’m very fun to watch he joked. It will be “like Fear Factor” but with girls and tasks. The winner gets “a lot of money” and will be able to go on tour with me.”

Davido admits he always had a passion for music and wanted to pursue a career in entertainment.

With his birthday joke last year that resulted in massive philanthropist moves, the singer also said he plans to give out every year. Last year, he gave away 250 million Naira (around £450,000) to nearly 300 orphanages across Nigeria.

Before he concluded the interview, Davido remarked on how music has grown: “As the culture is growing the venues are getting bigger, the songs are getting more recognition, and it’s amazing to see. It’s become it’s own genre, which is amazing.”
