Nigerian singer Davido, born David Adeleke, has disclosed that he does not want any of his children to work in the entertainment industry.
In a widely shared conversation with Breakfast Club, Davido revealed that his kids will work in his father’s company.
According to Davido, working for their granddad will make their lives easier, attributing the decision to the hardships he faced before his career success.
Narrating how his father’s refusal to support his music career before his breakthrough “killed his joy”, Davido added that he would still support any of his children who choose to go into the entertainment industry.
Interviewer: “Do you want your kids to be in this industry or would you prefer your kids to work with grandpa?”
Davido answered, “Omo, go and work with my dad. 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 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 said.
