Afrobeats icon Davido has revealed that his love for music runs so deep that he would still pursue a career in it, even without the fame and fortune that now surround him.
In a heartfelt interview with Okay Africa, the award-winning singer opened up about the personal motivations behind his art, describing music as a core part of his identity—not just a career path.
“I hope I still have the same passion, I’d probably try again… but it depends on my age,” Davido said, reflecting on the path he might have taken if success hadn't come early.
He emphasized that beyond sold-out arenas and hit records, the real joy comes from his connection with fans.
“One flex I have 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,” he shared.
Davido also offered a rare glimpse into his mindset at the start of his career, admitting that his current success exceeded his original expectations.
“When I started, I never thought I’d be this big. That’s how God works,” he said.
To his younger self, the “Unavailable” hitmaker would say:
“It’s going to be a long journey, many ups and downs, smiles and frowns, but you’d get there.”
Now regarded as one of the most influential voices in African music, Davido’s message is clear—his journey was born out of passion, shaped by perseverance, and powered by the enduring love of his fans.
