Davido reveals the movie role he’s desperate to play

Nigerian global music star, Davido, has expressed his interest in joining the movie industry, revealing that he would love to play the role of a taxi driver in a film.

The award-winning singer made this known while speaking at a panel session during the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) titled “Rhythms of the Continent: The Afrobeat Movement and Its Impacts on African Film.”

Davido said he is excited about exploring acting and film production, noting that his brother has already hinted at offering him a role. However, he wants something unexpected and different from his public image.

“My brother was saying he was going to give me a role. I told him I wanted to do a role that would be shot as a taxi driver or something — something out of the blue. He has to figure that out,” Davido said.

He also revealed that he hopes to produce movies inspired by real African stories, drawing from projects like Uncorked and from international entertainers like 50 Cent, who expanded beyond music into film and television.

“I definitely want to get involved in movies,” he added.
