Davido to dabble into films this year
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that he has a strong passion for filmmaking and would have pursued a career in the movie industry if he had not become a musician.
Speaking in a recent interview with content creator Darryl, the award-winning singer disclosed that his background in business marketing had always positioned him for a career in the broader entertainment sector.
“I studied business marketing, so I would have still been in the entertainment space if I wasn’t singing but probably, more of behind the scenes,” Davido said.
Davido further announced that he is making concrete moves into the African film industry, with plans to invest in several film projects this year.
He noted that he is working closely with his longtime music video director, Dammy Twitch, on a number of creative ideas.
“I am investing in a couple of films this year. Shoutout to my director, Dammy Twitch. We have some ideas, series coming. The film space right now in Africa is going bankruptcy. So, we are definitely going to tap into that,” he announced.
In addition to producing, the singer revealed that he is also interested in acting. According to him, he has been demonstrating his acting skills in some of his music videos.
“I can also act. I can act for real. I act in my music videos. I acted in music videos like ‘Jowo’, ‘Nwa Baby’,” he noted.
Davido on Friday released his highly anticipated fifth studio album, titled ‘5ive’.
In the lead-up to the album’s release, the award-winning singer dropped several singles, including ‘Be There Still’ and ‘Funds’, which features rappers Odumodublvck and Chike. He also unveiled ‘Awuke’, a collaboration with YG Marley.
The new album is a 17-track project that boasts an impressive lineup of guest appearances from international and local artistes. Featured acts include Chris Brown, Omah Lay, Victony, Victoria Monett, Becky G, and Shensea, among others.
‘5ive’ comes two years after the release of last studio album ‘Timeless’, which debuted at number one on Billboard’s World Albums Chart.
