David Adeleke, the Afrobeats star fondly called Davido, says the “music industry has not been peaceful since I joined”.
In a post via his X page, the singer said he loves the effect of his presence in the music industry.
“Since I came in the game dem never get peace, I love it! Make I find somewhere with beach go relax,” he wrote in pidgin English.

Davido’s post was shared about the same time when Wizkid, his colleague, taunted him with a video of the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker on his knees, pleading and crying after a fan asked him to release new music.
In 2020, Davido had warned that if Burna Boy and Wizkid teamed up against him, it wouldn’t work.
“Nobody will gang up against me such that it would work. It hurts me sometimes. I’ve tried with Burna but how long will I keep doing that? It’s either you don’t like me or… I‘m saying this now,” he said.
“Let’s all come together. But they won’t respond. With ‘Fem’, I just had to. If he replies, I’ll like it.”
In 2011, Davido released his first single ‘Back When’, a song from his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ (2012).
He rose to fame after releasing ‘Dami Duro’, the second single from his debut studio album.
In 2012, Davido won the ‘next rated’ award at The Headies.
In the last decade, the 30-year-old Afrobeats singer has put out hundreds of chart-topping singles like ‘Gobe’, ‘One of a Kind’, ‘Skelewu’, ‘Aye’, ‘Owo Ni Koko’, ‘If’, ‘Fall’, ‘Fia’ and ‘Assurance’ among others.
He put out albums ‘A Good Time’ and ‘A Better Time‘ in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Davido released ‘Timeless’, his fourth album which housed 17 tracks, on March 31, 2023.
The album set its first-day streaming record for an African album on Apple Music in the same month.
Davido is one of the most-followed African artistes on social media platforms.
He has also enjoyed global prominence while winning an avalanche of awards and recognition for his craft.
