Davido Opens Up on Why He Refuses to ‘Form’ Like Other Superstars

Afrobeats superstar Davido has explained why fans rarely see him putting on an untouchable celebrity image, saying he prefers to stay true to himself rather than “forming” like some of his colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Speaking during a recent interview with PlayKisstra, the award-winning singer said he has never believed in acting bigger than life, stressing that his outgoing personality and willingness to connect with fans have remained unchanged despite his global success. His comments were reported by Daily Post and have since sparked conversations across social media.

According to Davido, many people are often surprised by how approachable he is because they expect celebrities to keep a distance from the public.

The “Unavailable” hitmaker noted that being genuine has helped him build a loyal fanbase across the world, adding that he sees no reason to create a fake lifestyle just to maintain a superstar image.

His latest remarks come amid a series of candid interviews in which the singer has opened up about his career, personal life and future ambitions. In recent weeks, Davido revealed that if he had not become a musician, he would likely have owned a media company or record label because of his passion for entertainment.

The singer also recently admitted that one of his greatest fears is not knowing the right time to retire from music, explaining that he wants to protect the legacy he has spent years building rather than overstay his welcome in the industry. P.M. News, Blueprint and Daily Post all reported the revelation.

Davido’s comments have continued to generate mixed reactions online, with many fans praising him for remaining relatable despite his status as one of Africa’s biggest music exports, while others described his openness as one of the qualities that has kept him relevant throughout his career.
