Davido Shocks Fans with Retirement From Music Announcement
Afrobeats sensation Davido, born David Adeleke, has revealed plans to retire from the music scene following the release of his next album. The news, shared via his social media handle, has sparked a whirlwind of reactions among fans and industry insiders alike.
The multi-award-winning artist made the announcement in response to what he described as orchestrated attacks against him by certain entities within the industry. Davido took to his X handle to express his frustration, stating, “Yall niggas really want me out the game that bad ?? Oya after next album I no do again . So una fit get peace.”
This revelation comes hot on the heels of the release of his fourth studio album, ‘Timeless’, which has garnered critical acclaim and nominations, including a nod at the prestigious Grammy Awards. The album, featuring hit tracks like ‘Kante’, has solidified Davido’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
Since bursting onto the scene with his breakout hit ‘Dami Duro’ in 2012, Davido has become a household name, not only in Nigeria but across the world. His music label, DMW, has been instrumental in nurturing and promoting emerging talents in the industry.
In a bid to further expand his musical empire, Davido recently rebranded DMW to DMW 2.0 and introduced two new artists, Morravey and Logos Olori, signaling his commitment to supporting the next generation of music stars.
