Award-winning Nigerian singer, Davido, has shared why he is stepping back from his earlier desire to venture into politics, citing concerns about how such a move could affect his career and public image.
The music star made the revelation during a livestream conversation on Twitch with streamer Davrel, where he reflected on his long-held ambition and why he is now reconsidering it.
Davido explained that while he once seriously considered entering politics, his perspective has shifted after observing how other public figures from the entertainment industry have struggled to make a successful transition.
“Before, I wanted to go into politics but honestly, now, I see it two ways. All my years of goodwill, my name and my career, all the hard work and the fan base we have built, it is tricky because the way people look at things; the superstars that have gone into politics, the transition hasn’t really been successful,” he said.
