David Adeleke, Nigerian superstar popularly known as Davido, has revealed his biggest experience as a celebrity.
In an interview with a French fashion magazine, L’Officiel, the Fem crooner spoke on his friendship with different presidents.
He said of all the encounters, being personally picked up at Rwandan airport by President Paul Kagame is an experience he will never forget.
“It’s crazy landing in a country and getting a presidential welcome. I remember landing in Rwanda and the president came to pick me up himself.”
“I’m like, ‘What’s going on’? I know Bill Gates doesn’t get picked up by the president.
“Those kinds of incidents make me feel really good about myself and good about what I’ve made myself to be. Knowing that I have access to a president I can talk to. Even now, recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of coup d’états and military regime takeovers. I know a lot of these presidents personally. I’ve performed for them.
“They get elected as the hero and the power just changes them. That’s why I keep telling myself, ‘Do I think I ever want to get into politics’? It feels like one is the good guy until one sits down on that seat and everything changes.
“Sometimes, I wish I could just call them and talk to them before stuff like that happens.”
