Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has set tongues wagging with a recent revelation about his personal life. In a candid interview, the award-winning singer admitted that he’s done with cheating, stating that the complications it brings are no longer worth it.
Davido, who has five children with four different women, shared that although he has the means and freedom to embrace a polygamous lifestyle, he now chooses peace and stability. Drawing from personal experience and family dynamics, he referenced his uncles who, despite their wealth, continue to struggle with the challenges that come with having multiple partners.
“If I want to, but I don’t because it’s too much wahala. I have five kids with four women. Maybe it’s because I have had bad experiences; sometimes experience is the best teacher,” he said.
This honest admission has triggered a wave of reactions online, with fans split between admiration and skepticism. While some applaud him for his self-awareness and growth, others question the timing of the statement, suggesting it might be a strategic move to gain public sympathy ahead of a new music release.
Here are some of the reactions from social media:
• “So it’s not that you don’t want to cheat because you’re married, it’s just because you’re tired? Alright then.”
• “As long as Chioma is happy and comfortable, then carry on, my dear.”
• “This my idolo accent dey cry. He just dey switch from typical Naija to Yankee anyhow.”
• “But who asked him? So he knew what he was doing all along? Men will embarrass you every time.”
• “Na every time album dey come out, Davido go start to dey preach. He wants pity streams again. We go still listen sha.”
• “At least he’s honest. Many won’t admit this publicly. Growth looks good on him.”
• “Omo, experience really na best teacher. Man don see shege.”
As the comments pour in, Davido’s statement has once again placed him at the center of public discussion this time not for a chart-topping single, but for a personal decision that’s both relatable and controversial.
