“I Regret Being Hardworking” – Davido Opens Up on Mental Toll of Fame, CDQ Reveals Label Deal That Never Happened Afrobeats icon Davido has revealed that his intense work ethic comes at a heavy price — mental exhaustion. Despite being the son of billionaire Adedeji Adeleke, the singer confessed that he regrets how demanding his career has become, even though he’s already worth billions. "It's not for the money... I work because I love the music and my fans," he told Bankulli after his sold-out Toronto show at Scotiabank Arena. Meanwhile, rapper CDQ disclosed that Davido once tried to sign him to his label, offering to pour tour profits into building CDQ into Africa’s biggest rapper. But when Masterkraft proposed a partnership deal instead of a traditional contract, Davido declined, and the plan collapsed. Two stories. One global superstar. One almost-signing. A peek behind the curtain of hustle, heart, and hard choices. #Davido #OBO #HardWorkAndMentalHealth #AfrobeatsIcon
