Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer Davido has said that taking up a government position would not stop him from continuing his music career.
According to The Nation Online Nigeria, the artist made the remark during a livestream conversation with Davrel, where he explained that he could still perform even while serving in public office.
Davido said that balancing both roles would be possible, though he expects his performance schedule would be reduced if he ever joined government service.
“I would still be performing if I ever chose to work for the government. That doesn’t stop anything, in my opinion,” he said.
He referenced former Haitian President Michel Martelly as an example, noting that Martelly continued his music career while in office, including performing and touring during his presidency.
Davido, however, clarified that he is no longer actively pursuing a political career. He said observing Nigerian entertainers who transitioned into politics influenced his decision, adding that many have not achieved notable success in the space.
The singer remains focused on his music career, which has continued to earn him international recognition.
