In An Interview with Jayne Augoye of Punch News Papers, Davido always being confident of him self talks about his plans for the future, his music, the controversial nature of his skelewu Video and how he's not scared of anyone in the industry or soon to come, not even Wizkid. read the interesting interview below;
ON HIS QUICK SUCCESS IN THE INDUSTRY HE SAYS;
“Everything is just God because I just wanted to do music, be happy and comfortable but He just turned my fortunes around and I thank Him for that, Even though I have fame, money and other things working for me, I didn't expect to be this big. I find it sometimes overwhelming that I am immediately recognized wherever I go and it is such a great feeling, that sometimes I feel like the president. I miss partying at the club with my friends, but at the same time I am happy because this is what I have always wanted to do"
CONTROVERSIES AND ONLINE SCANDAL;
“No doubt I have made some mistakes and I am not perfect. You know, sometimes I get overwhelmed or annoyed. I am a human being too, people have to understand that before they are quick to judge my actions,
COMPETITIONS IN THE INDUSTRY;
I’m not afraid of competition or the fact that some person will just appear on the scene and take the shine. After all, I did it to some people, so I expect that it is something that must happen to everyone because you can’t be shining forever. But once you are good to others, make good music, have loyal fans, that’s all that matters.”
HIS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE;
“I have plans to go into oil and gas business with my elder brother next year. I want to do music for 10 years. By that time, I will be 30, and free to rest. Some people are just starting out at 30 but I am already a success and threat at 20. Fame at a young age is a plus because I still have like 10 years to ball while some people are just starting at 27 and 30.”
ON WIZKID BEING A THREAT;
“Not at all. The rumor is cool. But I see nobody as competition or threat. God is behind me, so I just go into the studio, do my music and everything is fine. I develop and write most of my songs in the studio.”
HIS FATHER'S INFLUENCE;
“Yes my father is rich, but the truth is some people only knew who he was after I released my song, ‘Omo Baba Olowo’. I want people to know that the song was not a hit because of my father but because it was dope. I didn't sing ‘OBO’ because of my father’s wealth – contrary to what people think.”
HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER;
“My father and family always keep me grounded. They call me from time to time to ask about my welfare. My father actually visits all these blogs to read and see all my nonsense. Just like the typical Yoruba father, he scolds me and whenever he does that, I will say, ‘Daddy cool down, what’s going on, relax.’ Although he is also very proud of me, he is scared and happy for me at the same time.”
SKELEWU CONTROVERSIES;
“The song is big already; so whatever we do people are still going to talk anyway. I shot the video like a movie and there are three videos, so people can watch whichever one they want.
“If you don’t like the instructional video, you can watch Sesan’s, if you don’t like that one; you can watch Moe Musa’s. If people want, I will shoot one more video, it’s not easy.”
“When the first video leaked they said they didn’t like it. Everyone knew that we were about to shoot, and he (Sesan), had the video. So it may not be him that leaked it. But we have since apologised to his camp and everybody.
