Nigerian musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, has stated that working for the government won’t prevent him from pursuing his career.
The musician stated in a recent livestream with Davrel that he would continue to play even if he chose to work for the government.
Davido pointed out that Michel Martelly, the previous president of Haiti, continued to perform as a singer while in office.
“If I ever decide to work in government, I would still be performing. I don’t think that stops anything.”
“Obviously, it won’t be as much as before. Michel Martelly was a musician while he was president of Haiti, and he still performed. He even went on tours during his presidential vocations,” he reiterated.
Davido revealed that he is no longer enthusiastic about entering politics, emphasising that he was considering his political aspirations after seeing other celebrities enter the field.
He asserted that the majority of Nigerian celebrities who made the switch from entertainment to politics were unsuccessful.
He continued by saying that although he had once been engaged in politics, the reality on the ground had turned him into a sceptic.
