Nigerian singer, Davido, has said he is no longer keen on pursuing a career in politics, citing concerns over how celebrities have fared in the political space.
The artiste made this known during a livestream on Twitch with streamer Davrel, where he reflected on his earlier interest in partisan politics.
Davido noted that his observations of other entertainers who ventured into politics influenced his decision, stating that many of them have not recorded significant success.
He explained that although he once considered joining politics, his established career, public image, and the realities of the political landscape have made him reconsider.
The singer further stated that politics requires a different level of commitment, adding that it appears to be a profession best suited for those fully immersed in it.
According to him, “Before, I wanted to go into politics but honestly, now, I see it two ways. All my years of goodwill, my name and my career, all the hard work and the fan base we have built, it is tricky because the way people look at things; the superstars that have gone into politics, the transition hasn’t really been successful,
“I feel like if you are a politician, you are a politician. It is like it is their business,”
