Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has urged young people with lofty aspirations to remain faithful to God even after attaining success.
Speaking during a recent interview with Kiss Xtra, the singer expressed concern over the growing number of celebrities, particularly Christians, who stop attending church once they become famous.
Davido also encouraged young people to believe in themselves and remain dedicated to their goals, describing self-confidence and consistency as key to achieving success.
He recalled learning music from YouTube and from the people around him while growing up, and stressed that constant self-improvement helped him.
The award-winning artist said, “My advice for young boys with big dreams is, first of all, believe in yourself. I worked on my craft so much. I loved music so much that I just wanted to get better every time. When I was young, I was learning from YouTube and the people around me”.
He added that the second key is to love what you do and keep God close, particularly after making it.
According to him, the entertainment industry is full of distractions that can make people forget that God is the reason for their success.
“Secondly, love what you do and put God first and close, especially when you make it, because there are so many distractions that can make you forget he is the reason you are here”, he added.
The singer’s remarks come amid public conversations about celebrities drifting away from faith after fame.
