Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has been making headlines recently, and for good reason.
Davido has been opening up about his global influence, his faith, and how he has overcome some of life’s toughest challenges.
Speaking at the Elevate Africa event, Davido revealed the impressive extent of his global influence, stating that he has the phone numbers of 14 presidents at a call away. He highlighted how his music career has not only brought him personal success but also opened doors for his family and promoted Nigerian culture worldwide.
Davido further noted the cultural impact of his music, explaining how world leaders often seek to meet him during his international travels. “In every country we go to, the president wants to meet us. That’s also promoting our culture. It’s an amazing feeling,” he said.
Meanwhile, in a recent podcast interview with Rollingout, Davido also opened up about how his father’s teachings on faith have guided him in overcoming life’s toughest challenges. He reflected on his Christian upbringing and the influence of his father, a successful businessman and church elder.
Davido credited his father’s guidance for helping him cope with the death of his son, Ifeanyi, and find strength in his faith. “My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college,” he said.
Davido’s revelations have sparked admiration on social media, with many praising the singer’s global influence and his commitment to his faith.
