Nigerian singer, David Adeleke aka Davido has opened up on why he took a break from social media. 

According to him he left social media to concentrate on himself, adding that many activities that he involved himself in had begun to take a toll on him, so, he decided to concentrate on himself. 

In a chat with Beat FM, Davido revealed that he didn’t know he was going to stay away for that long but it happened. In his words:

 “There was a lot going on. I was on tour. I was on the road for nine years and it took a toll on me for like a month and I thought that I need a break. Even I was telling myself that it was just going to take a week. But I thought that if I don’t slow down now, it may end in me breaking down because I’m a very strong person. If I break down, imagine how many people that I’m taking care of will break down as well. So I decided to move away and regroup.“And it helped.

I can’t tell you how happy I have become. I won’t say I’m a different person but I used to wake up at 9 pm because I’d record all night. I can’t sleep because I had things on my mind and then Coronavirus.“I have never been at home for that long before.

And I thought that if I have to do this, I have to get off social media. So, just stepping back really helped me a lot,” he added.
