Eko hot blog reports that Nollywood actor and pastor, Yul Edochie, has penned a heartfelt note to award-winning singer Davido, encouraging him not to quit music despite his recent announcement.
Davido had taken to Twitter to express his intention to retire from the music industry after his next album, citing pressure from critics.
Edochie, however, implored Davido not to succumb to negativity, emphasizing his significance as a musical icon in Nigeria and Africa.
He condemned the culture of trolling and urged Davido to continue producing hits, reminding him of his enduring impact on the music scene.
In his message, Edochie highlighted the relentless efforts of great individuals who often face criticism from detractors.
He urged Davido to persevere and not allow trolls to diminish his achievements or influence his decisions.
The actor’s words of encouragement come amidst a wave of reactions to Davido’s announcement, with fans and industry peers expressing both support and concern for the singer’s future.
In a similar vein, Wizkid, Davido’s industry rival, faced pressure from fans last year to release new music.
However, Wizkid defended his decision to take a break, asserting his right to enjoy the fruits of his labor and explore other career opportunities.
Davido’s revelation about his tumultuous journey in the music industry reflects the challenges faced by many African artists, including the stereotyping of genres.
In a recent interview, he, along with Burna Boy and Wizkid, distanced himself from the label of “Afrobeats,” preferring to define his music as “Afro-fusion.”
Despite the complexities of the music industry, Davido remains determined to carve his own path and redefine his artistic identity.
As he navigates through this pivotal moment in his career, the support and encouragement from peers like Yul Edochie serve as a source of strength and inspiration.
