The singer revealed that he has received numerous messages from kids telling him that he is their source of inspiration. as many of them want to be successful like him. Davido added that he understands that he lives a crazy life but it has nothing to do with showing off or trying to oppress anyone.

Many kids write to me and tell me that I’m the reason they want to finish school, and projects, and become successful. In America there are people who think we live in huts, sometimes I feel like I want to show them… We’re living the life, we’re going crazy, you feel me? It has nothing to do with showing off or trying to oppress anybody. They oppress us enough.”
