MULTI-AWARD winning artist and record label executive, David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has given a hint into what he considers as his worst experience as an artiste.
The DMW boss singled out his eight months stay in the United States of America after being signed on to Sony Music in 2016 as a really challenging period in his career.
He noted that he felt the need to return to Nigeria after discovering his career was suffering decline.
“I remember telling them (Sony Music team) that the producers you guys put me in with are cool but I need to go home. I was in America for almost seven months,” said Davido in an interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on the TV show Drinks Champ.
He said, “I woke up one day and I was like, I need to go home. So, I just got on a plane and went back home. My brother, two weeks from when I got back home, ‘If’ blew up.
“Every artist can go through it, that point when you are so high, you’re untouchable, and then down the line you start fading. Every artist goes through that. That is the worst thing ever. I have had that period in my life and I was like, nah, I need to go back. Immediately I got back home, I got back my mojo.”
