Nigeria singer Davido discloses why he consistently sings about ladies

David Adedeji Adeleke, known in the showbiz as Davido, has revealed the reason why he sings mostly about women, saying it is as a result of how he was created.

In an interview with Okay Africa, the afro pop star said his music is influenced by his creation.

"Like rappers, they're singing about what they're going through - drugs, their past life or whatever. I'm singing about what I know, what I grew up happy about and being a Nigerian, "he noted.

"The majority of my music is about girls. I have two daughters and most of the people around me are women. So that's what I sing because that's what I experienced.  It's not really a philosophy, it's just making music based on how I was created and being authentic in it. "

The musician also indicated that his highest priority is to communicate the richness of the African continent to the world, although he has grown to hear 50 Cent, T.I and the likes.

He mentioned that he first experimented with making hip-hop music, influenced by his past summers in Atlanta. However, a trip back to Lagos for Christmas stirred his music in a different direction.

"I was doing American rap and hip-hop music," he said. "I did not really get involved with African music until I came home in December, after two years in America."

"The Christmas season in Nigeria is like in the main season and it is the most popular time that is the festive period. I went and fell in love with African music and changed the subject. Just took a trip. I went home for about 10 days and fell in love with music and culture, and the artist was really successful doing shows. One good thing about Nigeria is being an artist is a very lucrative job to have. They are known and great as other artists are. It's crazy. "

Last year, Davido became the first African artist to receive an award on the main stage of the BET Awards. During his acceptance speech, he mentioned that his "continent was so blessed to influence so many cultures," before encouraging the public to come to Africa.
