(Video) Davido Reveals His Alternate Career Dream: “I Would’ve Been a Journalist”
Global Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about his passion for media, revealing in a recent interview that journalism would have been his chosen career if he hadn’t pursued music. The award-winning artist, known for his media presence and marketing prowess, emphasized his love for conversations, press, and staying informed, traits he believes make him stand out among his peers.
Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is not just a music icon—he’s also a media enthusiast at heart.
In a trending interview with Atlanta’s 96.1 The Beat, Davido disclosed that if music hadn’t worked out, journalism would have been his calling. The singer, who studied marketing and business management, said his passion for communication and media engagement has always set him apart.
“I like promo, I like conversations,” Davido said.
“If I had a podcast, I’d talk for like three to four days.”
The With You crooner added that many top artists shy away from press runs, but he embraces them because of his love for talking and sharing ideas.
“A lot of big artists don’t do press, but I do because I can talk. When people meet me, I like to have conversations, I like to know things, I like information.”
Davido also touched on his work ethic, drawing parallels with icons like Beyoncé, to explain why he’s maintained such a strong presence both online and in the industry.
“People ask me why I have the most followers… it’s because I’m working.”
Even outside music, Davido said he’s constantly learning and researching—another reason why journalism would have been a natural fit.
