Davido said the decision was influenced by the struggles he faced before achieving fame, noting that working in his father’s businesses would provide his children with stability and make life easier for them.
He recalled how his father’s refusal to support his music career in the early days “killed his joy,” though he eventually proved his determination to succeed.
When asked if he would prefer his kids to join the industry or work with their grandfather, Davido replied:
“Omo, go and work with my dad. Every Christmas, my dad takes all the grandkids with him. And I could just see that upon all the things he has, including multiple private jets and all that, his happiness is him seeing his grandchildren.”
The singer added that his father’s joy in spending time with his grandchildren made him realise what truly matters in life.
“My dad not wanting me in the entertainment really killed my joy until he saw that this boy is really adamant about doing this. I wouldn’t want to do that to my kids as well. My daughter is already singing and dancing,” he said.
Despite his preference, Davido pointed out that he would still support any of his children who choose to follow his path in entertainment.
