Nigerian singer David Adeleke Davido is no doubt one of the biggest artistes in the world right now, and certainly one of the most successful singers out of Nigeria and Africa.

He has been working non-stop for about 14 years now, and in a new interview with Kiss Fresh FM, speaks about how it makes him feel like a 60 year old, though he is just 31.

Comparing his life with when he just gained fame and now, Davido listed some of the ways his life has changed including fathering six children and getting married.

According to the music star, if people look at his life from when he was 17 to now, when he is almost 32, he has had unique experiences, including the kinds of people he has met, the places he has been, and more.

However, Davido also expressed gratitude for still being relevant in the industry because not a lot of people have that. In his words:

“Six kids after, I’m a father, I’m a husband, I feel like I’m 60. If you calculate it from when I was 17 years old till now, what I’ve been through, the places I’ve been, the experiences I’ve had, the kind of people I’ve met and the kind of people I know, it’s a lot.

We’re grateful. A lot of people don’t have 14 years and still popping, it rarely happens like that, for us to just have the opportunity to keep going.”

Speaking on music and how he has excelled at it so far, Davido said:

“Everybody’s road is different. I came in just loving music. I didn’t need money, I didn’t need nothing. I came in just having a love for music and entertainment, and I knew I had something to offer the world.

So I feel like that is why I just stayed at it and stayed at it. I have been doing this for a very long time. For like 13, 14 years, and I am not bored. I am not bored at all. I don’t think there is a retirement soon.

For now, we are still going. We still have somewhere to get to, somewhere to go. And then after we are done, we will leave the blueprint for the people that come after us. And when they are done, they will leave the blueprint for those who come after them. I am just happy that at least we kicked in the door.
