Davido Says Music Industry Went Silent Without Him; Even My Haters Missed Me

Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about how deeply moved he was by the public’s reaction during his time away from the music scene.

In a recent interview, the award-winning artist recounted how the atmosphere in the industry changed drastically when he stepped back from releasing music.

According to him, during his period of inactivity, there was a noticeable drop in energy across the music world. No new projects, no buzz—just silence. It was during this lull that he realized how much of a void his absence had created.

Davido shared that fans from all corners—even those who regularly criticize him—were vocal about missing him and urging him to return. He noted that he didn’t fully grasp the extent of his influence until he stepped away and saw how the entire scene slowed down in his absence.

As clips of the interview made rounds online, reactions varied. Some fans praised Davido’s honesty and influence, while others accused him of exaggeration. Critics questioned his claims, calling them self-centered, while supporters pointed to the drop in online engagement during his break as proof of his impact.

The debate continues on social media, but one thing remains clear: whether you love him or hate him, Davido’s presence in the music industry is hard to ignore.
