Famous singer Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, has made a bold claim about the Nigerian music industry.
On his X handle on Sunday, he wrote, “Since I came in the game, dem never get peace .. I love it! Make I find somewhere with a beach go relax.” This statement suggests that he enjoys the competitive and chaotic nature of the industry.
This is not the first time Davido has spoken about the tensions within the industry. In 2022, he tweeted, “Me vs the industry! Love it!” indicating that he sees himself as a solo force against the rest of the industry. Davido has been open about his strained relationships with fellow Afrobeats leaders Wizkid and Burna Boy in several interviews.
Davido’s entry into the Nigerian music industry began with his debut studio album, ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ (2012), which included hit singles ‘Back When’ and ‘Dami Duro’. Since then, he has risen to become one of the three leaders of the new school Afrobeats, alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy.
While Davido’s statements may be seen as provocative, they also reflect the competitive nature of the music industry.
His ability to thrive in this environment has contributed to his success and made him a prominent figure in Afrobeats.
