Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

Nigerian Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he never doubted that his music career would succeed, even before he had achieved anything, describing his self-belief as “delusional confidence.”

The Grammy-nominated singer, who hails from Osun State, disclosed this in an interview with Doseofsociety, posted via Instagram on Friday.

Davido said he could not point to a specific moment of doubt throughout his journey, insisting his confidence bordered on the irrational.

“Funny enough, I never doubted myself. I was so confident that it was crazy, like delusional confidence. If I said there wasn’t a time I wasn’t sure, till you make it, you’re not sure.”
