Pop star, Davido has averred that when he started out in the music industry, he didn’t think of saving money. Davido made this known in a chat with Ndani Tv.
“I have lived a very care free life. At the beginning of my career, I didn’t think of saving money .I just lived life. Right now, I am just trying to branch out into other avenues of making money. Our main source of income as artistes especially in Nigeria, are shows. Right now, I am branching into other things, signing new artistes as well building a couple of apartments, building a hotel, and also working on something like a music recording resort in Ghana”.
On why he took a break from social media in the wake of the COVID-19 total lockdown, he said:”I had been on the go for nine straight years, doing shows, music, shooting videos nonstop. That pause made me realize I needed a break from everything; I needed a break from shows, music and people and from even my close friends. I ended up moving out of Lekki, because you know that my Lekki house once I come out, like three hundred people come there in a day. I needed to step down from everything, lockdown from Instagram . I was even meant to drop an album in July, I told the label I wasn’t in the right frame of mind.It wasn’t just one thing that triggered it.The pandemic had a lot to do with it.I took a big break and I came back relieved”.
Davido noted that when he decided to take music seriously, his siblings didn’t take him seriously.
“I have always been the baby of the house.They really started taking it seriously till stuff started happening.They are all my biggest fans”.
