Davido Reveals Why He Doesn’t Want His Children in Entertainment
Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has shared why he does not want his children to follow his path in the entertainment industry, despite his global success.
Speaking during an interview on The Breakfast Club, the singer revealed that he would prefer his children to work within his father’s business empire rather than pursue careers in music or entertainment.
Davido explained that his decision is influenced by his personal experience while trying to build his career. According to him, the journey to success in the music industry was not easy, and he does not want his children to go through the same struggles he faced before his breakthrough.
He also opened up about his relationship with his father, Adedeji Adeleke, noting that his father initially did not support his decision to enter the entertainment industry. Davido said that lack of support affected him emotionally at the time, even though things later improved when his success became clear.
Reflecting on family values, the singer spoke about moments he has observed between his father and his grandchildren. He described how, despite his father’s wealth and achievements, his greatest joy comes from spending time with his grandchildren, which shaped his perspective on life and priorities.
Davido added that while he prefers a different path for his children, he would not force his decision on them. He made it clear that he would still support them if they eventually choose to pursue careers in entertainment.
He also hinted that his children are already showing early interest in music and performance, especially his daughter, who enjoys singing and dancing.
The singer’s comments have sparked conversations about parenting, legacy, and the pressures of fame, especially among celebrities who have experienced both the rewards and challenges of the entertainment industry.
Davido’s perspective highlights a growing trend among successful figures who want their children to have more stable and less demanding career paths, even when they themselves thrive in high-pressure industries.
