Nigerian musician, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said taking a position in the government won’t stop him from being an artiste.
During a recent livestream with Davrel, the singer mentioned that if he ever decided to become a government official, he would still be performing.
Davido noted that former president of Haiti, Michel Martelly, was still performing as a musician during his presidency.
“If I ever decide to work in government, I would still be performing. I don’t think that stops anything.
“Obviously, it won’t be as much as before. Michel Martelly was a musician while he was president of Haiti, and he still performed. He even went on tours during his presidential vacations,” he stated.
Davido disclosed that he is no longer passionate about going into politics, stressing that observation about other celebrities who joined politics was making him weigh his political ambition.
He claimed that most Nigerian celebrities who transitioned from entertainment to politics haven’t been successful.
He added that he was previously interested in politics, but the reality on ground has made him skeptical.
