Davido: I want to own a big media house… shoot movies, reality shows

Davido, the award-winning singer, says he plans to own a “big media house” in the nearest future.

The OBO crooner also talked about his interest in shooting movies, cooking shows, reality TV shows during an interview with Rolling Stone.

“It’ll probably be a little pre, and have ’10 years later’ type stuff. Something like that. Still thinking. I want to own a big media house: shoot movies, documentaries, game shows, cooking shows, reality TV,” Davido said.

He also revealed that his hit single ‘Stand Strong’ was inspired by the consistent deaths of his loved ones.

Davido said with the deaths of his friend, security guard, and photographer last year, the creative process of ‘Stand Strong’ was a coping mechanism.

In the song, which was released in May, Davido talked about the difficulties he had faced in life.

Davido also talked about his forthcoming album. He said the body of work is basically ready while describing it as a project containing “typical Davido music”.

“I get more creative when I’m home,” he said. “Just even having [my] boys around. It was like, ‘What’s going on in town? What are the new slangs? What’s going on? I’ve been away for three months. Update me’.”

Davido recently said he will be returning to the studio after the victory of his uncle in the Osun governorship election.

He said he had to put his career on the line in order to help Ademola Adeleke achieve his political dreams.
