“I like conversing and all. Many people don’t know that besides business management, I also studied marketing, so I like to talk. If I had a podcast, I’d talk for three or four days.”
Davido explained that while many artistes don’t enjoy the spotlight beyond music, “It’s part of being an artiste. I could talk and talk, but some people don’t like to talk. I want to have conversations when people meet me, and I’d like to know things. I like information.”

He also talked about his life at home and how he is big on being in the news. “If you see me at home, I’m always researching something. I watch the news often when I wake up, I have CNN on the television downstairs”.
Then he clearly stated his choice of expertise if he weren’t a musician. He said, “I’m a very informative person, and I feel like if I wasn’t fully doing music, I’d be into something like journalism. I like to let people know what I’m working on. Some people ask me why I get the most followers; it’s because I tap in and I’m always working”
