April 04, (THEWILL) – Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has explained why he has been unaccepted as a successful singer by many Nigerians.
He said many do not see him as a successful musician because of his wealthy family background.
Davido also alleged envy in the music scene, which is why although he was born with a golden spoon, he has strived much harder than the common man, yet his value is still being downplayed.
According to him: “Not to be cocky, but when next is the industry going to see another Davido? Let’s just be honest….A child from where I come from, hustled, suffered.
“I can tell you that I’ve suffered more than a lot of people that don’t have money. And I’ve been able to build what I built. It’s not going to happen in a long time. I don’t have the grass to grace story. And for Nigerians to accept you without that is usually very hard.
“That’s why I’m asking you because I know…..I don’t think there’s anything the industry needs because it’s always going to be the same thing. There’s always going to be envy.”
