Musician Davido has made it clear that he wants to go into the movie business, detailing how he will play a cab driver in a future production.
Speaking at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) panel session titled; “Rhythms of the Continent: The Afrobeat Movement and Its Impacts on African Film”, Davido expressed his excitement about venturing into film production and collaborating with African creatives.
“My brother was saying that he was going to give me a role. I told him I wanted to do a role that would be shot by a taxi driver or something—like something out of the blue. He has to figure that out. So I definitely want to get involved in movies,” he said.
International celebrities like 50 Cent, who have made a smooth transition into film and television production, were acknowledged by the award-winning musician as sources of inspiration.
Davido stated that he draws inspiration from shows like “Uncorked” to create genuine narratives that capture African experiences.

Nigerian singer Burna Boy has addressed rumours that the secret to his making hit songs is that he avoids shaving his armpits.
Photos of Burna Boy showing his unshaved armpits have, on several occasions, sparked reactions.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, the Grammy-winning star described such claims as hilarious.
The interviewer asked: “What would you say is a common misconception about Burna Boy?”
Burna Boy replied: “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think that it is like Samson in the Bible that [has] his power in his hair.
“There are some people that claim that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave. In Nigeria you hear crazy things. There are some people that think that is some voodoo sh*t, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sh*t that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
