Kissing a girl from the stage was the craziest thing I have ever done: Davido

In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, Davido talked about his music, his tattoos,  how he rose to the top, the young girls he's been caught on cameras with.

You’ve achieved fame within such a short period of time. How were you able to do that?
God has had my back, always. It’s all God’s doing. From my single back then, He had said it was my time; and so I kept doing my thing, working hard, spending more time working on the music and sampling all kinds of sounds. That’s how it came about.
Before you became a big shot, what were those days of humble beginnings in the industry like?

They weren’t easy – having to prove that you could do this, or that you could be big and sell records, and then not having people believe you or want to take a chance. 

I had some rough periods of even hungry days in the studio. Sometimes you got broke, but still just found one way or the other to pull through. I had plenty rough times.

It is one of the most expensive cities in Africa, and one of the most charmless.
