The Nigerian artist, known for using his music to showcase African culture, emphasized that his comments were not intended to discourage interest in Africa.
Instead, he wanted to paint a realistic picture of the current situation.
Davido stressed that entertainment is one of the few sectors making Africa appear more appealing on the global stage.
He explained that music, film, and other creative industries have become a smokescreen, often masking the economic and social challenges facing the continent.
“Entertainment is what’s giving Africa a smokescreen to make it look good,” he noted, noticing the stark contrast between the continent’s vibrant cultural output and its harsh economic realities.

During a recent interview, the singer shares his first encounter with the P-Square, Peter and Paul Okoye. He states how he experienced the duo perform and noticed the change in the audience, and how in that moment he got inspired.
“I was just watching, they did their thing. When they left, the manager turned and said ‘oya!’ then it started to occur to me that these guys, the difference is they create their own music, they make a sound and go to the studio and record and that’s how it’s done, and you are just a music man.”
“So how do I switch from music man to an artist, that was the difficult part of it and I thought it was going to be easy because I could play, I could sing…but now to create your own sound, where are you going to start from?”
