Davido opens up about family’s struggles as a result of his celebrity.
Popular Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, recently discussed the difficulties his family experiences as a result of his fame.
During a guest visit on the ABtalks podcast, the musician discussed his ideas while discussing the ups and downs that come with popularity.
The DMW boss admitted that fame may have both good and bad effects on his life as well as the lives of those who are most important to him, such as his children, nieces, and nephews.
He related a story about how his family were treated unfairly as a result of their friendship with him, forcing them to change schools.
Recalling the experience, the artist revealed that even his own daughter fell victim to bullying simply because she is his child.
“My daughter even faced bullying in school just because she is my daughter… So, fame has its positives, but it also has negatives,” Davido shared.
The musician reflected on the impact fame has on his private life. “I would be dishonest if I said I don’t enjoy fame. It has its advantages and disadvantages. I can get anything I want with this face and smile, but it can also be overwhelming as it invades my privacy and affects my family,” he confessed.

He went on to describe how, for instance, when his father came across news or rumours about him online, he would call him right away to see whether they were true.
