Award winning singer David Adeleke, better known Davido says it was unreal when Rwandan President came to pick him up at the airport during a visit to the country.
The singer stated this while peaking about the highlights of his career in an interview with a French fashion magazine, L’Officiel.
According to him, he has developed quite a lot of relationships with a number of Presidents during the course of his career.
Davido said, “It is a couple of things. It’s crazy landing in a country and getting a presidential welcome. I remember landing in Rwanda and the president came to pick me up himself. I’m like, ‘What’s going on’? I know Bill Gates doesn’t get picked up by the president.
“Those kinds of incidents make me feel really good about myself and good about what I’ve made myself to be. Knowing that I have access to a president I can talk to. Even now, recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of coup d’états and military regime takeovers. I know a lot of these presidents personally. I’ve performed for them.
“They get elected as the hero and the power just changes them. That’s why I keep telling myself, ‘Do I think I ever want to get into politics’? It feels like one is the good guy until one sits down on that seat and everything changes.
“Sometimes, I wish I could just call them and talk to them before stuff like that happens.
“Music-wise, just selling out arenas in the whole world. I remember going to the O2 Arena as a kid, I remember going to Madison Square Garden as a kid, Barclay Center as a kid. Selling those places out, it’s amazing to see music-wise.”
