Davido Surprises Fans With Unexpected Backup Career in Journalism
Afrobeats superstar Davido has left fans surprised with a recent revelation about what he would be doing if he weren’t a full-time musician. During an interview on Beat 96.1FM, the hitmaker opened up about his hidden passion—journalism. Known for his energetic performances and chart-topping songs, Davido shared a different side of himself, one that loves media, research, and sharing information.
While discussing the pressures of promoting his latest album, Davido admitted that he genuinely enjoys media rounds. He noted that he could easily host a podcast and talk for days, thanks to his strong background in marketing and communication.
“I’ve been doing crazy promo for my album – not easy. I don’t have to do promo but I like it, I like conversing and all,” Davido said. “A lot of people don’t know that, aside from business management, I also studied marketing so I like to talk.”
The singer explained that he thrives on staying informed and loves engaging with people. This constant search for knowledge, he said, makes journalism a natural fit for him.
“When people meet me, I like to have conversations and I’d like to know things. I like information. If you see me at home, I’m always researching something. I watch the news a lot… CNN is always on when I wake up,” he added.
Davido also noted that while many artists shy away from public interactions beyond music, he finds it fulfilling. He enjoys letting fans know what he’s working on and believes that openness is a reason for his popularity online.
His confession has sparked mixed reactions online, with fans praising his intelligence and versatility. It’s clear that whether it’s making music or sharing news, Davido is a man deeply connected to storytelling and human connection.
