However, he disclosed that he had to learn to deal with the issue because it made him uncomfortable and impatient whenever he had to perform in a live show.
In his words:
“Because my voice is already husky, when my voice goes, it’s so annoying. I like to express myself, and I speak a lot, so when I can’t talk, it’s annoying. It’s so uncomfortable when I have a show and my voice is not back, and I’m impatient, so I’ll just be coughing.”
In a recent interview, Davido revealed how timely his new album ‘Timeless’ had been for him.
According to him, he had gone through a lot of difficult moments in life but his new album helped him regain his footing and reflect on the purpose of his career as a music artiste. On the Timeless concert that held in Lagos, this was what he had to say:
“You have to be really, really loved for people to come to TBS—on a rainy day again. I wasn’t worried about people coming out; I was more worried about delivering the production that we had worked so hard. We just wanted everything to go right; that’s really what I was banking on. I would say about 70 percent of what we planned went right, and that’s really good for Nigeria.”
