Davido claims the industry shut down during his absence, and that’s how he discovered how much love fans and colleagues have for him. In a recent interview, the Afrobeats superstar reflected on a period when he took a break from social media and public life. According to him, the silence and stillness in the music scene made it clear just how much impact he carries.
Davido claims the industry shut down, not in a literal sense, but in terms of energy, buzz, and movement. He explained that his hiatus made people realize how significant his presence was. Fans and even critics couldn’t stop talking about him, despite his silence — a testament to his influence.
This statement has generated mixed reactions. While many agree that Davido is a pillar in the Nigerian music scene, others argue that the industry continued thriving. Nonetheless, Davido claims the industry shut down proves his confidence in his position as a leading voice in Afrobeats.
