Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has encouraged young people chasing ambitious goals to remain committed to God even after achieving success.
Speaking in a recent interview with Kiss Xtra, the award-winning singer addressed concerns about some celebrities, particularly Christians, distancing themselves from church and their faith after attaining fame.
Davido said self-belief is the foundation of success, urging aspiring talents to trust in their abilities and dedicate themselves to continuous improvement.
Reflecting on his early years, the singer recalled developing his musical skills by learning from YouTube tutorials and observing the people around him. He said his determination to improve consistently played a significant role in his growth as an artist.
According to Davido, passion for one’s craft should go hand in hand with discipline and perseverance.
He also advised young people not to lose sight of their faith after reaching the top, warning that success often comes with distractions that can make people forget the source of their achievements.
Davido said keeping God at the centre of one’s life is essential, adding that gratitude and spiritual commitment should remain constant regardless of fame or fortune.
His remarks come amid ongoing public discussions about whether some entertainers become less active in their religious faith after rising to prominence.
