Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has explained why he maintains a carefree and authentic personality, stating that he does not believe in 'packaging' or creating distance between himself and the public despite his celebrity status.
Davido on Authenticity Over Mystery
Speaking about his unique approach to fame, Davido emphasized that his confidence stems from his upbringing and personal beliefs. 'I'm a different kind of person. Normally, artists are meant to package and form, but God has blessed me. What works for me might not work for others. Nigerians call it see finish, but my star will always shine,' he said.
The award-winning singer explained that while many entertainers prefer to maintain an air of mystery, he has always chosen authenticity. He dismissed concerns about 'see finish,' a Nigerian phrase suggesting over-familiarity can reduce respect, noting that his success is not dependent on how much access people have to him.
Upbringing Shaped His Personality
Reflecting on his childhood, Davido revealed that growing up in a large family influenced his relaxed personality. 'I grew up in a family with a lot of people. I'm the youngest of 5 kids. I grew up with my cousins in the house, so I've always had people around me,' he added.
