“My family thought I was joking when I told them I wanted to start professional music career” -Davido
“But as I got older, they looked and they saw that, yo, he is really good in this. And then finally, they let me do what I want to do.”
Popular Afrobeats artiste, Davido has revealed that his family initially did not support his decision to pursue music as a career because he is the youngest member of the family.
During a recent interview with Jazzy’s World TV, Davido explained that he faced challenges in convincing his family of his music ambitions, but they eventually started supporting him after he achieved success in the industry.
“When I wanted to do music, imagine being the last born of the family. I’m like, yo, I want to do music. I’m going to be a superstar one day,” Davido said.
“Imagine trying to influence everybody in a family [where] you are the last born. Nobody took me seriously. You feel me? But as I got older, they looked and they saw that, yo, he is really good in this. And then finally, they let me do what I want to do.”
Despite the initial lack of support, Davido expressed his love for being the youngest member of the family, noting that his older siblings have always been there to support him when he faces challenges.
