I would have jumped off the balcony, Davido recounts first negative experience with fame

Nigerian musician Davido recounted a distressing early experience with fame that nearly overwhelmed him. Just two months after his music gained significant traction, he traveled to Ghana where his newfound popularity led to intense public attention. During his stay, he encountered a groupie and faced a scandal when a photo of him sleeping with a woman was shared online, leading to backlash from his family. The incident caused him extreme emotional distress, prompting him to say he would have jumped off a balcony if one were available. Davido reflected on how his youth and attraction to women made the situation inevitable, though he now views it as a necessary lesson in navigating fame.
