In a recent interview with Mystery Fashionist in New York, he revealed that his faith has been a crucial source of strength during these difficult times.

“I believe that my strength, along with my faith, has helped me through.”
Davido also addressed some common misconceptions about him.
“Some people think I’m not approachable, while others believe I’m too accessible.”
