Afrobeats singer, songwriter, and record producer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has given his fans a heads-up on what to expect in the next phase of his career.
He disclosed his journey in the music industry so far during an interview on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show with Eddie Kadi.
According to the “Electricity” crooner, he has achieved a great deal in his career, performing across the world and receiving accolades, including back-to-back Grammy nominations over the last three years.

He added that he is content with his achievements and now wants to return to his roots by making unapologetic African music, as opposed to incorporating Western sounds to appeal to international audiences.
Speaking on the show, Davido said: “This part of my career, I have performed everywhere, sold out every arena, I have been to three Grammys in the last three years. The music that is coming next is very Davido; it is very African. We have done it [Western sounds], so I am not really looking to do Western sounds anymore.”
He went on to reminisce about the support he enjoys from his South African fans, noting that “80 per cent” of them know him and love his music.
Davido has collaborated with several South African artists over the years and has received multiple certifications from the country’s music industry.
