Davido Opens Up About Suicidal Thoughts After Fame

David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, shared a personal experience regarding his mental health during a recent episode of a podcast. He recounted a troubling incident that occurred about two months after he gained fame with two hit songs.

While in Ghana for a show, he was excited by the positive reception from fans, particularly women. After taking a woman to his hotel room, he fell asleep, unaware that she had taken a photo of him and posted it online.

Upon waking, he was bombarded with calls from his manager and family, leading him to feel overwhelmed. Davido stated, “If I saw a balcony that day, I would have jumped,” reflecting on his youth and inexperience at the time.

He acknowledged that this experience taught him valuable lessons about the pressures of fame and the necessity of protecting his reputation and private life as a public figure.
