Taking government position won’t stop my music performance, career – Davido + Video

Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said taking a position in government would not end his performance nor his career as a music artiste.

The Grammy-nominated singer disclosed this during a recent livestream with Davrel.

Davido explained that a political role would not end his music career, though his performance schedule would likely be less frequent than it is now.

He cited former Haitian President Michel Martelly as an example, who continued to perform and tour while in office.

He said, “I would still be performing if I ever chose to work for the government. That doesn’t stop anything, in my opinion.

“It won’t be as much as it was before, of course. Even while president of Haiti, Michel Martelly continued to perform as a musician. He even went on tours while serving as president.”

The singer added that most Nigerian celebrities who transitioned from entertainment to politics have not been successful.
