Renowned Afrobeats artist, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has announced his intention to step away from the music industry following the release of his next album.
The decision comes amidst frustration over manipulated images and videos circulated by certain blogs, which Davido believes are part of a campaign to push him out of the industry.
In a statement shared on Thursday night, Davido expressed his exasperation, stating, “Yall niggas really want me out the game that bad ?? Oya after next album I no do again . So una fit get peace.” He recently reflected on the lack of peace many of his peers have faced since entering the industry.
This announcement follows the release of the music video for “Kante,” a track from his Grammy-nominated album “Timeless,” which marked the conclusion of an era for Davido’s fourth studio album.
Looking ahead, Davido is anticipating a new phase characterized by fresh music and achievements.
Davido initially gained prominence with his 2012 hit “Dami Duro” under HKN Music, and later founded his music label, DMW, in April 2016.
