Davido has recently opened up about his apprehensions regarding his latest album, "Timeless". According to the musician, he felt like this was his last chance to deliver an acceptable album. During an appearance on the +44 podcast, Davido revealed that he believed the album would either make or break his career.
As the release date approached, Davido instructed his team to leave one hour before the album was scheduled to drop. He then prayed and went to sleep. When he woke up over three hours later, he was terrified by the lack of celebration surrounding the release of his album.
"This is me telling myself the truth; this album was either going to make me or break me. People don’t want to say it to me in my face. But everybody knows the truth about the situation that is happening in their life whether they want to lie to them or not. There were situations when I was recording this album I was like ‘mehn! I’m going to go like this, I’m going to go like this?’
The singer explained that he had felt anxious throughout the recording process and was uncertain about the direction the album would take. He revealed that when he finally fell asleep, he had intended to rest for just one hour and thirty minutes before waking up to celebrate the album's release. However, he overslept and woke up at 3 am to find that there was no one around to celebrate with him.
"So, when I slept and I woke up, my phone was not with me, so I was going crazy. I sent everybody away an hour before the album came out, I did my prayers, I laid down on my bed and slept. I now over slept. Woke up by 3am. I said ‘Ye!’. I was looking for my phone because I have a big suite. I went to the living room, but there wasn’t anybody in my room celebrating. I was scared like ‘wettin dey happen na?’. “So, I ran downstairs and I banged my assistant’s door ‘what’s going on, what’s going on?’. He said ‘Oga, take your phone, congratulations’.”
