I Don’t Want My Kids to Do Music. I Don’t Want Them to Go Through What I Went Through, Davido Says

Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he would prefer his children not to pursue careers in music due to the challenges he faced on his journey to becoming one of Africa’s biggest artists.

Speaking on the Vibes Podcast, the singer admitted that although one of his daughters shows a natural talent for music, he hopes his children choose a different path.

“I don’t want any of my children doing music because I don’t want them to go through what I went through.”

However, Davido stressed that he would never stop his children from chasing their dreams if music is truly their passion.

“Obviously, anything, because eventually my parents and my family allowed me to chase my dream. I would never want to block any of them from chasing their dream. And especially if they’re good, why not?”

He also noted that he is the first person in his family to pursue music professionally, describing himself as the first-generation musician in the Adeleke family.

“I’m the first-generation musician in my family. I’m the first person that tried to go against the grain in the whole generation of Adeleke.”
