“I like people to know what I’m working on” — Davido
The Unavailable crooner shared that his day often starts with catching up on the news and keeping himself informed.

“I am a very informative person. If you see me at home, I am always researching something. When I wake up, I check the news. I got CNN downstairs.”

“I feel like if I were not in music, I would be doing journalism. I can talk; some people don’t. I like people to know what I am working on.”
Why I still do promo despite being a superstar – Davido
The music star who recently marked his daughter’s birthday also addressed why he remains active in promoting his songs despite already being one of Africa’s biggest music exports.

“Because I like having conversations. A lot of people don’t know that apart from a Business Administration degree, I studied Marketing too. I like to market myself. I like to talk. If I have a podcast, I will talk for days. Doing promo is part of being an artist. A lot of people just sit and let things work for them. I am not like that. I work so hard.”
