Davido has revealed that he has had many reasons to cry in life, aside from losing his close associates.
He recalled that as a young school kid, his French teacher once told him he would not succeed.
Davido spoke on the ”30 Billion Gang” episode of the ”Tee with Tay” podcast.
The DMW boss had a deep conversation with Taymesan, the host.
The ”E Choke” crooner said: “Life is fast, I have been doing this continuously since I was 16 years old.
“Of course, I have had to cry, not even about losing my friends alone. I cry about different situations. It comes and goes.
“On my birthday, I cried. I know how bad my grades were.
“In school, I was like the most unlikely to succeed type of student.
“In secondary school, my French teacher told me I won’t be anything in this life. I won’t lie I was a bad kid with good intentions”
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
