"I've Been on Jets Since I Was a Baby" – Davido Explains Why He Dresses Casually Despite Fame
Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that the reason behind his low-key, casual style is not a lack of awareness about his status, but because he has been surrounded by wealth, luxury, and private jets since he was a baby, making those things feel completely normal to him.
"I've Been on Jets Since I Was a Baby" – Davido Explains Why He Dresses Casually Despite Fame
Davido addressed the public's perception that he is "too free" and does not always carry himself like a global star during a recent interview with Vibe Magazine.
He explained that his upbringing has a lot to do with how he presents himself today, saying, "I've been on jets, I've been flying, I've been in all these places since I was a baby. I've been seeing money since I was a baby.
So all these things don't really excite me". The singer, who is set to release his sixth studio album ORIADÉ, provided a specific example of his casual approach to life, recalling a moment in the South of France when he stepped out in slippers and shorts without his watch to grab a quick meal.
While he was simply trying to satisfy his hunger, a member of his record label reportedly pulled him aside and advised him that he needed to "package more" and treat his public appearances as occasions worth dressing up for.
Davido was not convinced by the advice, responding, "Bro, I'm hungry. Like, why does it have to be a moment? I'm hungry. I want to eat. There's nothing about moments here. Like, I sometimes, I like to live like a regular person".
The singer's laid-back personality has been a defining feature of his public persona for years, and he has previously explained that it is simply how he was raised.
The singer's net worth is estimated at around $100 million, and he has famously revealed that his monthly expenses range from $200,000 to $300,000, which does not even include his wife's expenses or major purchases like cars.
Despite his incredible wealth, Davido has also spoken about how he has evolved, choosing to reduce his large entourage and focus more on his family and career. "Now I live with the kids and my wife. I can't have 100 people in my house like before," he said, explaining that he now prefers a smaller, more productive circle.
Despite being surrounded by wealth from birth, the singer has built his own empire through a 15-year career in music, becoming one of the most successful Afrobeats artists in history.
His statement reveals a man who is comfortable with his status but prefers not to make a spectacle out of his wealth, as he enjoys experiencing moments of normalcy away from the pressures of celebrity life.
Whether he is performing on a world tour or driving to the supermarket in a Toyota, Davido remains determined to stay grounded and true to himself.
