Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has once again reminded the world that his connection to music runs far deeper than fame or wealth.
In a fresh sit-down with OkayAfrica, the award-winning singer reflected on what truly fuels his journey — and spoiler alert: it’s not just the bright lights or sold-out shows.
Omo, this one touched heart o.
The “Unavailable” crooner made it clear that even if he wasn’t the global superstar we all know today, he would still be chasing music with all his might. He said, “I hope I still have the same passion, I’d probably try again…but it depends on my age.” That right there? Pure passion!
According to Davido, it’s not just about making hits or topping charts — it’s the genuine connection with his fans that keeps him grounded.
He even dropped a line that many artists can only dream of saying:
“One flex I have that money didn’t buy is natural love from my fans.”
Omo, facts upon facts! 🙌
He spoke of fans who have travelled long distances just to see him perform. From day-one loyalists to new gen-Z listeners, Davido proudly acknowledged how vast his catalogue has become over the years — and how loved he feels across generations.
As if that wasn’t deep enough, he also offered a little gem to his younger self:
“It’s going to be a long journey, many ups and downs, smiles and frowns, but you’d get there.”
E choke, but in a good way this time.
Davido admitted that he never imagined his career would reach such massive heights — not even close. But in his words, “That’s how God works.”
Whether you love him for the bangers or admire his resilience, one thing is clear — this guy is not just chasing the bag, he’s following purpose.
