Davido, who recently missed out on his second Grammy nomination, revealed that only his two older daughters are fully aware of how famous he is.

According to him, both girls enjoy his celebrity lifestyle, but they react to it in very different ways.

In a video from the viral interview, Davido explained that Imade, his first daughter, prefers a quiet and private lifestyle.

He said she often asks him to take her to places where there are no people or paparazzi, as she enjoys spending personal time with her father.

On the other hand, Davido described his second daughter, Hailey, as more outgoing and comfortable with attention. Unlike Imade, Hailey enjoys being in front of the camera and does not mind having her picture taken.

“Sometimes my older daughter is like, ‘Daddy, can we go somewhere where there’s no people, paparazzi,’” Davido said.
“My second daughter is more like, ‘Yeah, take my picture.’ My first daughter just wants to be alone with her dad. They’re different.”
