Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has shared his preference for his children’s future careers, stating that he would rather they stay away from the entertainment industry.
Speaking during a widely circulated interview on Breakfast Club, the singer explained that he hopes his children will instead work in the companies owned by his father, Deji Adeleke. According to him, this path would offer them a more comfortable and stable life.
Davido linked this decision to the challenges he faced before gaining recognition in music. He recalled how his father initially did not support his decision to pursue a music career, a situation he said affected him deeply at the time.
Despite this, the award-winning artist noted that he would not stand in the way if any of his children decide to follow a similar path in entertainment.
Interviewer: “Do you want your kids to be in this industry or would you prefer your kids to work with grandpa?”

Davido answered “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.
“And my father is single. So I just saw his happiness and I’m like meh, this is like what life is all about. 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.
