The award-winning singer made the disclosure during an interview with Vibe Q on Thursday, where he spoke about his ambitions beyond music and his growing interest in filmmaking.
Davido said creativity is constantly evolving and stressed the need for artistes to explore new ideas and ways of telling stories.
“Music evolves. Just like technology, Apple every year, they’re bringing out a new iPhone. That’s the same way I look at music. There’s always a new sound, there’s always a new creative idea, there’s always a new way to tell your story,” he said.
The singer revealed that he has already taken steps into the film industry, disclosing that he is serving as an executive producer on two movie projects this year in collaboration with music video director Dammy Twitch.
He also disclosed plans for a major documentary, describing the project as a significant production.
Davido said he is keen to eventually appear in films, despite maintaining that music remains his first love.
“I want to get into movies. I want to start acting soon. I have invested in two movies already as an executive producer. I also have a documentary coming. It is very, very big. And yeah, I do want to act at some point in the future,” he said.
The singer explained that his interest in acting is driven by his desire to explore different forms of storytelling and broaden his creative expression.
Davido has established himself as one of Africa’s leading music stars, with several hit songs and international collaborations to his name.
Beyond music, he has also expanded his business interests across areas including entertainment, fashion and hospitality, while showing increasing interest in projects aimed at supporting the wider Nigerian creative industry.
