Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that even if his music career had not taken off, he would have remained in the entertainment industry, either as a record label owner or by running a media company. The Grammy-nominated singer, whose full name is David Adeleke, shared his thoughts during an interview with PlayKisstra, offering fans a glimpse into his life beyond the stage.
Davido's Passion for Entertainment Beyond Performance
According to Davido, his deep-rooted love for show business would have led him to ownership rather than performing. He stated, "I'd probably be a label owner or have a media house because I've always loved entertainment. Even if I was working in my daddy's office, I can see myself having a side business like a music label just because I love music." This comment underscores his unwavering commitment to the industry, regardless of his role.
Davido's Business Degree and Corporate Options
Davido also confirmed that he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management, which he believes opens doors in the corporate world. He expressed confidence in his qualifications, noting, "I have a degree. I have a BSc in Business Management, so I can go to Barclays here and try to get a job. You know what I'm saying? I could get a job. I can actually get a job. I got a résumé." This revelation highlights his preparedness for a traditional career path if needed.
Davido's Grounded Perspective on Success
The interview offers an interesting window into how Davido views himself outside his identity as one of Afrobeats' biggest names. While he has built a career most artists can only dream of, he appears grounded in the reality that success requires more than talent alone, and that he came prepared either way. His comments reflect a practical mindset, balancing his passion for entertainment with the security of a formal education.
Davido Praises Tony Elumelu
Earlier, Davido reacted to billionaire businessman Tony Elumelu's announcement about stepping down as Group Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA) after completing a 12-year tenure limit. Davido expressed admiration, writing, "NAH MAN U BE." The development also saw Emmanuel N. Nnorom appointed as the incoming Chairman, a move that drew attention from the Afrobeats star.
