Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he might eventually leave the music industry to pursue his financial ambitions, including making billions.
The singer made the remark in response to a post by Nigerian rapper Erigga on X. Erigga had lauded musicians who did not come from wealthy backgrounds and had to work hard to earn every dollar they made.
“Shoutout to all the musicians that didn’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn,” Erigga wrote.
However, Davido disagreed with the sentiment, stating that artists from wealthy backgrounds can also work hard and build successful careers on their own merit.
We don’t want your pops to be on guard. “Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top,” replied Davido.

He described Erigga’s message as “useless motivation” and responded to it with an insult, referring to the rapper as a “imbecile.”
Davido then opened up about his plans to leave music someday to focus on his financial objectives.
“No worry o I go soon leave their music for una go make my billions… then that shit go be boring AF,” he wrote.
The Grammy-nominated singer also questioned if people really want to live in poverty, asking his followers, “Deep down, who like poverty?”
His remarks have since been picked up online, especially his comment that he might eventually retire from music to work on other financial pursuits.
