"I dropped school for music without knowing if I would make it" says star

Davido in a recent interview revealed that despite his comfortable background, achieving success was not straightforward for him.

Davido revealed that his desire to pursue a career in music did not fly with his dad, more so because leaving school at the time for an unsure career was a huge risk. According to him, it was the grace of God that made him successful even beyond his own expectations.

He summed up his advice for upcoming artistes and fans this way: “You don’t need to do it because somebody else is doing it. You need to love what you’re doing and know that that’s what you have a passion for.”

Davido is planning to release his sophomore effort 'Baddest' in June, 2015.
