In a recent intervew with Punch davido opens up on his skelewu video, relationship with Dad and the competition in the music industry. The exerpt goes
“I see nobody as competition or threat. God is behind me, so I
just go into the studio, do my music and everything is fine. I develop
and write most of my songs in the studio. I’m not afraid of competition
or the fact that some person will just appear on the scene and take the
shine. After all, I did it to some people, so I expect that it is
something that must happen to everyone because you can’t be shining
forever. But once you are good to others, make good music, have loyal
fans, that’s all that matters.
I have plans to go into oil and gas business with my elder
brother next year. I want to do music for 10 years. By that time, I will
be 30, and free to rest. Some people are just starting out at 30 but I
am already a success and threat at 20. Fame at a young age is a plus
because I still have like 10 years to ball while some people are just
starting at 27 and 30.”
On Skelewu
“The song is big already; so whatever we do people are still
going to talk anyway. I shot the video like a movie and there are three
videos, so people can watch whichever one they want.If you don’t like
the instructional video, you can watch Sesan’s, if you don’t like that
one; you can watch Moe Musa’s. If people want, I will shoot one more
video, it’s not easy.”
On his dad
“Yes my father is rich, but the truth is some people only knew who
he was after I released my song, ‘Omo Baba Olowo’. I want people to
know that the song was not a hit because of my father but because it was
dope. I didn’t sing ‘OBO’ because of my father’s wealth – contrary to
what people think. My father and family always keep me grounded. They
call me from time to time to ask about my welfare. My father actually
visits all these blogs to read and see all my nonsense. Just like the
typical Yoruba father, he scolds me and whenever he does that, I will
say, ‘Daddy cool down, what’s going on, relax.’ Although he is also very
proud of me, he is scared and happy for me at the same time.”
