Afrobeats megastar Davido has set social media abuzz after revealing in a candid moment that he has a staggering billions of dollars waiting for him if he ever decides to quit music.
The global hitmaker made the revelation in a new backstage video where he reflected on his music journey, family legacy, and deep-rooted passion for the craft that has kept him at the top for over a decade.
In the now-viral clip, Davido, born David Adeleke, is seen relaxing with his team, exuding confidence as he reflects on his resilience and consistency.
The singer—whose father, Adedeji Adeleke, is a billionaire business mogul—acknowledged the immense wealth and privileges he has access to, but emphasized that his continued dominance in music is not driven by money.
“I have billions of dollars waiting for me if I decide to stop working,” Davido declared, while asserting that despite being the son of a billionaire, he remains laser-focused on his music career because of the love he has for the art, his fans, and the unwavering support of his family.
Davido spoke passionately about his mindset, determination, and the strength it takes to stay relevant in an ever-evolving industry filled with competition and scrutiny.
He hinted at the emotional and mental fortitude required to thrive in such an intense environment and dismissed claims that his success was purely due to his father’s wealth.
According to the DMW boss, it’s his mentality, not the money, that keeps him winning.
