Nigerian musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he doesn’t any of his children to pursue a career in music.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Vibe podcast, the father of six explained that the reason he won’t encourage any of his children to do music is because of his own experience.

He revealed that his second daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, is already leaning towards music and has good voice but he’s skeptical about supporting her.

“I don’t want any of my children to pursue music. My second daughter [Hailey] is already leaning towards music. She is the life of the party. She behaves just like me. She actually has a good voice.

“But I know what I went through. Can you go through what I go through? Knowing what I have been through, I’m skeptical about encouraging any of my children to do music,” he said.

Davido, however, added, “But because my parents and my family eventually allowed me chase me dreams, I would never want to block any of my children from chasing their dreams. And if they are good, why not?
