Award-winning Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared what he describes as his greatest personal fear despite enjoying years of success in the music industry.
Speaking during a video interview, the singer said he worries about not recognising the right time to step away from music.
According to him, watching once-famous celebrities lose their influence is a reality that deeply concerns him.
Singer reflects on the pressure of fame
Davido explained that fame can be unpredictable, noting that public admiration can quickly change even after years of remarkable achievements.
He said he would love to establish a therapy centre dedicated to helping celebrities who struggle after falling out of the spotlight.
The singer believes such individuals often face emotional and mental challenges that are not widely discussed.
Ronaldo cited as an example
Davido pointed to football icon Cristiano Ronaldo as an example of how public expectations can remain high regardless of a person’s accomplishments.
He noted that despite Ronaldo’s remarkable career, the football legend still faced criticism following his country’s exit from the FIFA World Cup.
The Afrobeats star said experiences like that remind him of the pressure that comes with being in the public eye.
‘I pray for the right time’
Davido said he constantly prays for wisdom to know the right moment to end his music career without damaging the legacy he has built over the years.
He added that after years of hard work, his goal is to leave the industry on his own terms and at the appropriate time.
