Afrobeats musician Davido has stated that, unlike many celebrities, he will not fit into the stereotypical image of fame.
He explained that people have often told him he is “too available” for someone of his status.
In a recent appearance on ‘The Breakfast Club’, he opened up on his personality.
“I love everyone, man. I’m not a rebel like Burna Boy or mystical like Wizkid. I’m just me. People know me as the outgoing, free guy. I can’t act that way. I’m not a rebel like Burna Boy, nor am I as mysterious as Wizkid.
“Some people tell me I’m too free and ask if I know I’m a superstar. I’ll just tell them, ‘If my dad walked past, you right now, you wouldn’t know it. That’s how I grew up,’” he continued.
This down-to-earth perspective, he believes, comes from his upbringing.
In a light-hearted moment, he shared an amusing story about his manager, who often gets frustrated with him for being too casual, even in his own home.
“My manager gets mad at me for wearing slippers in the house,” he laughed. “There are people who are born artistes, and they come out of their room looking perfect,” he stated.
Despite his carefree nature, Davido emphasised that he knows how to balance his personal freedom with the demands of his career.
He believes that his easy-going approach to life resonates with his fans, giving them a glimpse of the real person behind the superstar persona.
