I HAVE BEEN FLYING IN JETS AND KNOWN WEALTH SINCE I WAS A BABY, SO SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO LIVE LIKE A REGULAR PERSON - DAVIDO REVEALS

Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about his laid-back lifestyle, revealing that despite his fame and wealth, he sometimes prefers to step out looking like an ordinary person.

Speaking about the misconception that he is “too free” and does not always carry himself like a star, Davido explained that growing up around wealth has made many luxury experiences feel normal to him.

“I’ve been on jets, I’ve been flying, I’ve been in all these places since I was a baby. I’ve been seeing money since I was a baby. So all these things don’t really excite me,” he said.

The singer recalled an experience in the South of France where he simply wore slippers and shorts and went out to eat without his wristwatch.

“I just put on some slippers, some shorts, like, I didn’t even wear my watch. I’m like, ‘You know what I’m saying? I’m still cute. You know what I’m saying?’”

According to Davido, a representative from his record label later suggested that he needed to “package more” and make his appearances feel like a special moment.

However, the singer said he was more concerned about satisfying a basic need at the time.

“Bro, I’m hungry. Like, why does it have to be a moment? I’m hungry. I want to eat. There’s nothing about moments here. Like, I sometimes, I like to live like a regular person.”

Davido also revealed that despite owning luxury cars, he sometimes prefers using a more ordinary vehicle.

“I have good cars, I have fresh cars in Atlanta, luxury cars, but sometimes I want to go in a Toyota and go to Publix.”
