Davido, a well-known afrobeat and dancehall musician, has admitted that he was afraid to release his new album, Timeless.
Davido claimed that he believed his most recent album, “Timeless,” was his final opportunity to produce a respectable record.
On a recent episode of the podcast +44, Davido said he believed his 17-track album would either save him or break him.
Davido revealed that he told his team to leave an hour before the release of his album, then went to bed after praying.
After more than three hours, he finally woke up, and he was startled to discover that nobody was praising his album.
“This is me telling myself the truth; this album was either going to make me or break me. People don’t want to say it to me in my face. But everybody knows the truth about the situation that is happening in their life whether they want to lie to them or not.
“There were situations when I was recording this album I was like ‘mehn! I’m going to go like this, I’m going to go like this?’
“So, when I slept and I woke up, my phone was not with me, so I was going crazy. I sent everybody away an hour before the album came out, I did my prayers, I laid down on my bed and slept. I now over slept.
“I wanted to just sleep for like one hour thirty minutes so that we will celebrate. I now over slept. Woke up by 3am. I said ‘Ye!’. I was looking for my phone because I have a big suite. I went to the living room, but there wasn’t anybody in my room celebrating. I was scared like ‘wettin dey happen na?’. “So, I ran downstairs and I banged my assistant’s door ‘what’s going on, what’s going on?’. He said ‘Oga, take your phone, congratulations’.”
