Sometimes I just want to live like a regular person – Davido

Afrobeats star Davido has opened up about the pressures of fame, saying he sometimes wishes he could live like an ordinary person.

Speaking in a recent interview, the singer addressed the perception that he is “too free” and does not carry himself like a typical celebrity or superstar.

According to Davido, while many people expect him to behave differently because of his status, there are times when he simply wants to experience life as a regular person without the constant attention that comes with fame.

He said in part …

“There’s this misconception that I am too free, that I do not act like a celebrity or superstar. Sometimes I just want to live like a regular person”
