Speaking in a recent interview, the singer said he would love to establish a support centre providing therapy and emotional support for individuals who have experienced fame and success but later struggle with life after the spotlight.
Using Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo as an example, Davido said he was saddened by the criticism Ronaldo received after the FIFA World Cup despite his achievements.
The award-winning singer added that the fear of losing everything he has worked hard to build keeps him grounded and constantly seeking God’s guidance. “That’s my greatest fear. I worked too hard for it to come and spoil it for something.
So I always ask God, ‘God, just tell me the right time to pack it up,'” he said.
