“My kids won’t go into entertainment industry”- Davido confesses, shares reasons
Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has revealed that he does not want any of his children to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
The singer made the disclosure during a viral interview on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about his plans for his kids and his desire for them to have a more stable path in life.
Speaking during the interview, he said:
“I would prefer my kids to work with my dad instead of doing entertainment. Every Christmas, my dad takes all the grandkids with him. And I could just see that upon all the things he has, including multiple private jets and all that, his happiness is him seeing his grandchildren. And my father is single.
So I just saw his happiness and I’m like this is 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.”
Davido explained that his decision is influenced by his personal struggles in the entertainment industry before his breakthrough, noting that he would prefer his children to work in his father, Adedeji Adeleke’s companies instead.
According to him, while he eventually followed his passion despite initial resistance from his father, he hopes to guide his children toward careers that offer more stability and less pressure.
The superstar, known for his deep love for his children, has once again shown his concern for their future and career choices.
