He explained that, “I studied business marketing, so I would have still been in the entertainment space [if I wasn’t singing] but probably, more of behind the scenes.”
On his acting ability, Davido declared, “I can also act. I can act for real.” He therefore served up his acting CV, saying, “I act in my music videos. I acted in music videos like ‘Jowo’, ‘Nwa Baby’.”
Speaking about his interest in filmmaking and pivoting into the space, Davido announced that “I am investing in a couple of films this year. Shoutout to my director, Dammy Twitch. We have some ideas, series coming.”
Davido also offered his assessment of the filmmaking space in Africa, saying, “The film space right now in Africa is going bankrupt. So, we are definitely going to tap into that.”
Recall that Davido released his highly anticipated fifth studio album titled ‘5ive’ on Friday to wide acclaim.
Ahead of the release, the award-winning singer had dropped several singles from the album, including ‘Be There Still’ and ‘Funds’, which features rapper Odumodublvck and Chike. He also unveiled ‘Awuke’, a collaboration with YG Marley.
The new album is a 17-track project that boasts an impressive lineup of guest appearances from international and local artists. The project featured acts such as Chris Brown, Omah Lay, Victony, Victoria Monét, Becky G, and Shenseea, among others.
‘5ive’ comes two years after the release of Davido’s last studio album titled ‘Timeless’, which debuted at number one on Billboard’s World Albums Chart.
