I FEEL THE NEED TO INK MY SKIN, SO I DO IT - DAVIDO SAID IN AN INTERVIEW: READ
In this
interview with Joan Omionawele, Davido shares his experiences before fame
came his way and opens up on his musical career, private life and plans
for the future.Before you became a big shot, what were those days of humble beginnings in the industry like?They weren’t easy – having to prove that you could do this, or that you could be big and sell records, and then not having people believe you or want to take a chance. I had some rough periods of even hungry days in the studio. Sometimes you got broke, but still just found one way or the other to pull through. I had plenty rough times.
What were your childhood days like?
I had a regular childhood. A whole lot of play and school, sometimes the play would just centre around music.
How did your dad feel about your decision to become a recording artiste?
He didn’t like it at first; but eventually a man understands a man’s need to do his thing and make a name for himself.
Did you drop out of school because you wanted to pursue your musical career?
Who says I dropped out? I’m in my third year in school.
How do you combine your music with your studies successfully? Has building a profession in music affected your studies in anyway?
It’s not been easy, but it’s working one way or the other. Being madly busy is not easy to cope with when you are studying; but it has no choice but to work out.
Why did you decide to go into music?
I was always going to do music as soon as I discovered my flair for it and I was working on sounds too in a studio and some of my friends used to say that I should just try doing my own thing. So, I took it up when I realised that I could actually make some decent sounds. I’ve always nurtured dreams of performing live, so it just had to be done.
Which musicians inspire you?
TuFace, PSquare and the Koko Master (Dbanj). Those guys are really something. The big things they’ve done in this industry are unforgettable. So, that’s my drive as well – to (make) a serious impact.
You travel a lot. Does your girlfriend not complain?
(Laughs) If you know say I get, and you sabi am, go ask am.
You mean you are not dating anyone now?
No.
You must have a lot of ladies trying to get your attention. How has the reception from your female fans been like? It’s crazy, coupled with the fact that I am young, and with girls in my age group too. Here in Africa and in Europe, the female fan base is wild. I really appreciate it. When guys are feeling you while you perform and also the girls are gingered and sometimes crazier about you, it’s cool.
We have had pictures of you in bed with various kinds of ladies. How has that affected your career?
If it has had any big effect on my career, I’m not sure I know about it, because I am still doing my thing and God still has my back. God did not allow some random act of one person who felt like fooling around to now spoil my career or ruin my image. Sebi they wanted to snap me (take my photograph)? They ‘snapped me’ and went their way…and my life goes on. That’s it.
What deals, endorsements, shows or recognition have you got that were quite memorable for you?
MTN of course. My first advert for MTN Pulse was a big deal for me. It was a great thing to be part of. Also, my shows all over Nigeria and performing in different states make me unable to decide which one is my favourite, seriously. You perform in a state and get mad love from the crowd; and then the next state is even crazier. And that’s how it just keeps going. So, my high points are those moments when my fans show dedication, and show me love like ‘Ah, you be our guy; you be our man, you know?
Which musicians do you dream of working with internationally?
It won’t be bad working with Pitbul, David Guetta, Sean Paul, and Nicki Minaj.
Your dad is wealthy and influential. Would you say his wealth has been a propelling factor in your career?
My father is wealthy, yes, and I am thankful to God for that. One way or the other, in my music career, there’s always a point where the gratitude goes to my father and always a point where my father’s wealth has been a useful factor. As for opening doors, well, maybe. But money is not everything and every part of it, behind the scenes of success is a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
If you were not a musician, what other career path would you have chosen?
Maybe a producer; but if you mean totally out of music, maybe one big businessman.
Reports say you were caught abroad spending fake money. How did that happen?
Go and ask the so called reporters whether na dem put fake currency for my hand. How does that even make sense? We were in Europe and spending good hard-earned money, even when the person we had a deal with was defaulting, and didn’t want to pay us. So it was just some rubbish they cooked up to spoil our names, and get away with breaking our contract. But of course, we don pass that one, so na dem sabi.
What’s the most expensive thing you have ever pampered yourself with?
My house! But if that doesn’t count as pampering, then maybe one of my Rolexes that the price tag can give somebody ‘Apollo’.
You have so many tattoos. Are you just following the trend or you’re doing your own thing?
I feel the need to ink my skin, so I do it. Simple. It’s my desire and that’s all.
What’s the craziest thing you have ever done on stage?
(Laughs) Nothing too wild; I just kissed a girl from the stage.
Some of your fans complain that you don’t have strong lyrics but only project the elitist life?
It’s what we need to drive the sounds; those kinds of lyrics are what the industry, as it is, is moved by. I can decide now to bring out the deepest of my emotions through lyrics. And you know, they will say Davido is boring.
In your dull moments, what do you do to get back in line?
I just make a mad beat, or take a trip to somewhere of interest.
How do you relax?
I go to the most exotic resorts and lounges in any country I’m currently in. Then sometimes I like to just (relax) with my headphones and just jam for hours, undisturbed.
EXCLUSIVE: Why Tiwa Savage Is Mad At TW Magazine
Tiwa Savage is getting increasingly intolerant with press scrutiny.
The Pop singer who has covered the October edition of women’s publication TW Magazine lashed out the editors of the publication over a review of her debut album ‘Once Upon a Time‘. Apparently, Tiwa thinks the writer didn’t understand what she was reviewing.
‘S/O Adeola Omitiran n Bukola Fagade.So called editors of TW mag.PS didn’t use low register on “babymo”maybe u shld study music b4 u judge it‘, Tiwa angrily wrote on her Twitter, October 18, 2013.
NET has discovered that the reviewer of the album Adeola Omitiran is an intern and her article was not checked or edited by the magazine’s editors before it went to press. The other lady Tiwa named Bukola Fagade has nothing to do with the article as she is only a graphic designer.
Sources tell us Tiwa Savage had called up the editors of the magazine to express her dissatisfaction before the tweet lambast; ‘we thought they settled everything over the phone until we saw Tiwa’s tweet, I wonder why she still went unto the blast the girl‘ one insider told NET.
Tiwa also picked at NET’s contributing writer Ayomide Tayo who wrote about her music career earlier in April 2013.
Read Omitiran’s review of Tiwa Savage’s ‘Once Upon a Time’.
‘Once Upon A Time opens with a Disney inspired fairy tale account of Tiwa Savage’s relationship with her manager Tunji ‘TBillz’ Balogun. Wanted, potent and upbeat reggae track, works as a great opener. Her lower register mode of singing works on Ileke, – a roll call for females to shake their booty – but fails miserably on others like Ejim Afia and Baby Mo.
Tiwa Svaage is the first and foremost and RnB artiste and she doesn’t hide her natural comfort zone on quite a number of tracks as Olorun Mi, Middle Passage and Get Low. Her foray in pop music isn’t a total disaster, her Kele Kele and Love me x3 are exquisitely crafted pieces but the subtle Folarin fails to blow the mind. With 21 songs, one has to dig deep to find the real substance with too many fillers, too much autotune and too much Don Jazzy. However for a debut album, it’s commendable effort’.

Drama In MIC Okusanya Family As 4 Unknown Women Surface Claiming To Be His Wives With Kids
As the family of late Mr. Tunji Okusanya Snr, Managing Director, MIC
Funeral Services, battles to get over the tragedy that befell them
after the ill-fated Associated Airlines plane crash that killed him and
four of his workers, some unknown women have surfaced in the family
claiming to have children for the deceased Okusanya Snr.
Following the demise of the philanthropic director of the foremost
undertaking company in the country, Magbamowo Industrial
Company (M.I.C.), four other women apart from his legitimate wives have
showed up as his wives, a family member disclosed.
The women and the children they claim to be Okunsanya's, were never
introduced to other members of the family by the late Okusanya.
“I am surprised because he did not tell or show the wives and children to his friends and family members as it has turned out to be. But such an incidence cannot be ruled out considering the status of the MIC boss.
He lived a larger than life lifestyle. Women chase such people who are successful, even if they do not chase the women. It is not a crime to have many children and we do not count children in Africa..
LEADERSHIP Friday learnt that with the present development, the total
number of children fathered by Okusanya outside his matrimonial home and
the ones that are known to the family member stands at nine children,
including a two-month-old baby.
