Afrobeats singer Davido has said that he and his peers should be winding down their careers within five to six years in order to make room for younger musicians. In an interview on the Uncut Podcast, Davido asserted that it's the proper course of action, highlighting that older artists shouldn't be in competition with younger ones for the spotlight.
He recommended that his contemporaries consider taking a break from the active music scene and stepping into the background. Davido boasted that with his existing discography, he could easily return to the music scene after a decade-long hiatus and headline 50 arena shows. "This is me and my contemporaries’ last 5–6 years. I am not going to be 40, still dominating the spotlight with guys in their 20s.
Jay-Z took a break and he is doing his thing," Davido stated. He explained that he could take a 10-year break and still come back to do a 50-arena tour, as his catalogue would remain untouched. While Davido did not suggest that artists should retire, he emphasized that older musicians shouldn't be the dominant force in the industry while competing with younger artists.
