I won’t be 40 and still dragging the stage with artists in their 20s. This is everybody’s last five years at the top — Davido hints at imminent retirement

Afrobeats star Davido has hinted at the possibility of taking a break from music, saying he does not intend to remain at the top of the industry indefinitely.

Speaking during a podcast session, the singer said, “Music is my blood but I’m not going to be 40 still dragging with guys in their 20s. Jay-z took a break and he is doing his thing.”

Davido also said he could step away from music for an extended period and still return to massive success because of his established catalogue.

“I can take a 10yrs break and still do a 50-arena tour. I have the catalogue. I might decide not to make another song for the rest of my life, and nobody is touching my catalogue,” he said.

He added that music should serve as a platform for artists to explore other opportunities beyond performing and recording.
