Nigerian music superstar Davido, widely recognized for his hit tracks and immense influence in the Afrobeats scene, has opened up candidly about what truly matters to him beyond fame and fortune.
In a recent interview, the singer revealed that what he values most are small gestures of genuine care from people around him, highlighting that simple questions about his well-being mean far more than money, gifts, or other material possessions.
Davido shared his feelings when asked what he wishes people would ask him more often, emphasizing the importance of human connection and emotional support amidst the pressures of fame.
Davido emphasizes wanting care and connection
He elaborated that while he does not need people’s money, taking a few minutes to genuinely ask how he is allows him to unburden, relax, and express his thoughts without pretense. He highlighted that such small moments of care can have a meaningful impact on mental and emotional well-being, especially during stressful periods in life.
When prompted by the interviewer, “What is something you wished you got asked more?”
Davido replied: “How’re you? Because you’ll just be stressed out. Just the little things. People just asking you how are you and then having 5 to 10 minutes talks could do a lot. I obviously don’t want your money. Cause I’m up, you know. It’s just the little things that count.”
This perspective offers a glimpse into the personal side of a superstar who is often seen in the public eye, reminding fans and followers that despite wealth and popularity, emotional care and attention from others remain invaluable.
Netizens weigh in on Davido’s revelation
Many social media users resonated with Davido’s sentiment, sharing their own thoughts on the importance of genuine concern for loved ones. @tobathenurse commented: “The truth is if you want real love and true friends, stay lowkey. Money attracts many things but rarely the people who love you for you.”
@MaxCrypt_ wrote: “Yh man. I can relate…. That’s one of the things we rich men suffer…. Everybody is always after what they can get from us, they never care about how we are doing. To them, because we are rich, we won’t have problems.”
@FolajeuwoNelson added: “I don’t like Davido but I like David Adeleke.”
@Web3Looper remarked: “Little things matter honestly, you don’t know what your friends or family is going through lowkey.”
The reactions show that despite being a global superstar, Davido’s desire for empathy and genuine human connection resonates with fans and followers, highlighting that emotional support is universally valued regardless of status or wealth.
