Afrobeats star has sparked conversation after stating that he would rather see his children build careers alongside his father than follow in his footsteps in the entertainment industry.
The award-winning singer made the remark while speaking on family, legacy, and career choices for the next generation.
According to him, the entertainment industry is highly demanding and unpredictable, and he would prefer a more structured and stable path for his children.
“I would prefer my children to work with my father rather than pursue careers in the entertainment industry,” Davido said, emphasizing his respect for the business empire built by his family patriarch.
His statement has since generated mixed reactions among fans and observers, with some agreeing that the music and entertainment space can be challenging and uncertain, while others argue that children should be free to pursue their passions regardless of industry risks.
Davido, one of Africa’s most prominent music exports, comes from a well-known business family, with his father having significant investments across various sectors.
The singer himself has often spoken about balancing his entertainment career with family responsibilities and long-term planning.
The comment adds to ongoing public discussions about career stability, generational wealth, and the growing influence of entertainment as a viable but volatile career path in Nigeria and beyond.
