Afrobeat singer, Davido, has stated that he doesn’t want any of his kids to work in the entertainment sector. Davido, who disclosed during a viral interview with ‘Breakfast Club’, said his children will work in his father, Deji Adeleke’s, companies.
The musician said that working for his father’s businesses would make their lives easier, attributing the decision to the hardships he faced before achieving success in his career and describing how his father “killed his joy” by not supporting his music career before his debut. Davido stated that he would still encourage his kids to pursue careers in entertainment.
Interviewer: “Do you want your kids to be in this industry or would you prefer your kids to work with grandpa?”
“Omo, go and work with my dad,” Davido replied. My dad brings all of the grandchildren along for Christmas every year. And it was clear to me that seeing his grandchildren brings him the most joy despite all of his possessions, including several private jets.
“And my father is single. So I just saw his happiness and I’m like meh, this is like what life is all about. My dad not wanting me in the entertainment really killed my joy until he saw that this boy is really adamant about doing this. I wouldn’t want to do that to my kids as well. My daughter is already singing and dancing,” he added.
