Afrobeats star Davido is making headlines after a candid moment during a chat with music executive Bankulli. Following his sold-out show at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, the singer opened up about the mental toll his career has taken on him—despite coming from a wealthy background.
Known for his hit songs and energetic performances, Davido revealed that being hardworking is something he actually regrets. According to him, the stress and mental energy that go into the music business can be overwhelming. He admitted that, although he’s from a privileged home, he still pushes himself hard—not for the money, but for the love of the craft.
“The stress and mental ability that goes into this type of work… is draining me,” Davido confessed. He added, “I regret to myself for being hardworking.”
The son of Nigerian billionaire Adedeji Adeleke, Davido also mentioned that money is not his motivation. In his own words, “Even if I don’t work again in my life, I have billions of dollars. But I’m working because I love my job and my fans.”
Fans online have reacted with mixed feelings. Some admire his honesty, while others are surprised to hear such a statement from someone who seems to have it all. But one thing is clear—Davido’s passion for music goes beyond fame and wealth.
His statement adds a new layer to how fans view celebrity lifestyles. It shows that even with money and success, the pressure behind the scenes can be just as real.
