Davido Plans To Quit Music For Oil And Gas Business by Nobody: 12:10pm On Nov 02, 2013
In a recent interview, Davido spoke about
his music career, competition in the
music industry and his hit song ‘skelewu’.

On competition in the music industry:
I’m not afraid of competition or the fact
that some person will just appear on the
scene and take the shine.
After all, I did it to some people, so I
expect that it is something that must
happen to everyone because you can’t be
shining forever.
But once you are good to others, make
good music, have loyal fans, that’s all that
matters.

On Wizkid being a threat or music rival
Not at all. The rumour is cool. But I see
nobody as competition or threat.
God is behind me, so I just go into the
studio, do my music and everything is
fine. I develop and write most of my
songs in the studio.

On how much influence his father has
had on his career
Yes my father is rich, but the truth is
some people only knew who he was after
I released my song, ‘Omo Baba Olowo’.
I want people to know that the song was
not a hit because of my father but
because it was dope.
I didn’t sing ‘OBO’ because of my father’s
wealth contrary to what people think. My
father and family always keep me
grounded.
They call me from time to time to ask
about my welfare. My father actually
visits all these blogs to read and see all
my nonsense.
Just like the typical Yoruba father, he
scolds me and whenever he does that, I
will say, ‘Daddy cool down, what’s going
on, relax.’
Although he is also very proud of me, he
is scared and happy for me at the same
time.”

On Skelewu
The song is big already; so whatever we
do people are still going to talk anyway.
I shot the video like a movie and there
are three videos, so people can watch
whichever one they want.
If you don’t like the instructional video,
you can watch Sesan’s, if you don’t like
that one; you can watch Moe Musa’s.
If people want, I will shoot one more
video, it’s not easy.”

On Future plans
I have plans to go into oil and gas
business with my elder brother next year.
I want to do music for 10 years. By that
time, I will be 30, and free to rest.
Some people are just starting out at 30
but I am already a success and threat at
20.
Fame at a young age is a plus because I
still have like 10 years to ball while some
people are just starting at 27 and 30.

What does this one know about Oil and gas?
I hope he's not planning to increase the number of corrupt Nigerians in that sector that needs to go to jail.
Btw,why are most "rich" Nigerians only investing in Oil and gas?
The "little work,fast money" syndrome in Nigeria is alarming.
There're far more lucrative sectors in Nigeria that needs more indigenous investments.
The manufacturing sector for example need more indigenous and foreign investors.
