“I would have been a stand-up comedian if not for music” – Davido.
If not for his music career, Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has said that he would have been a stand-up comedian.
The “GODFATHER” hitmaker explains that he would have become a good comic since he is an enjoyable individual who constantly wants other people to be happy.
He claims he is aware of what it is like to be sad and would never even wish it on his enemies. During a YouTuber Tayo Aina-produced documentary, Davido made this statement.
“If I was not doing music, I would have been a stand-up comedian. I’m a funny guy. In school, I was the type to always make people laugh. That transcended into my entertainment, music, and being a people person,”
“I know how it feels to not feel good. That bad feeling, I wouldn’t wish it on even my enemy.”

Recall, Mp3bullet reported that Don Jazzy, a music executive, has been identified as Davido’s mentor. The initial meeting with Don Jazzy was a remarkable event for Davido, who compared it to meeting Jesus.
In his words,
“Don Jazzy was my mentor. It was amazing. I started hustling and meeting people. From there, I sorted myself out.
“When I go to countries to perform, the presidency always reaches out. They ask if I want to go for dinner. My fans collated how many countries Davido has performed in. I saw about 75.
“Before I started making music, I’ve been traveling. You have also to count those. I’ve been traveling even alone and unaccompanied since I was 13. I knew my way around the airport.
“I work too hard. Everyone is sleeping and I’m up recording or mixing. We’re up editing videos. The work is blood, sweat, and tears. For the next five to six years, I need to own it.”
