Nigerian singer David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, has announced that he is no longer interested in pursuing a political career.

In a recent Twitch livestream with streamer Davrel, the singer said his observations of other celebrities entering politics influenced his decision.

He noted that many entertainers who made the transition have not achieved notable success.

“Before, I wanted to go into politics, but honestly, now, I see it two ways. All my years of goodwill, my name and my career, all the hard work and the fan base we have built, it is tricky because the way people look at things; the superstars that have gone into politics, the transition hasn’t really been successful,” Davido said.

He added, “I feel like if you are a politician, you are a politician. It is like it is their business.”
