Davido's rise to fame began with his debut album, 'Omo Baba Olowo' (2012), featuring hit singles 'Back When' and 'Dami Duro'. Since then, he has become one of the leading figures in the new school Afrobeats movement, alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy

In a recent post on his X handle, Davido, the popular Nigerian singer, made a bold claim that the music industry has never known peace since his entry. He seemingly relishes the chaos, writing, "Since I came in the game, dem never get peace... I love it! Make I find somewhere with a beach go relax."

This statement comes as no surprise, given his previous assertions of being at odds with some of his colleagues in the industry. In 2022, he tweeted, "Me vs the industry! Love it!" hinting at a perceived rivalry with his peers.

Davido's rise to fame began with his debut album, 'Omo Baba Olowo' (2012), featuring hit singles 'Back When' and 'Dami Duro'. Since then, he has become one of the leading figures in the new school Afrobeats movement, alongside Wizkid and Burna Boy. However, he has openly admitted to not having a cordial relationship with his counterparts.
