  "account": "Nigerian music sensation Davido has disclosed his intention to abandon his music career in favor of amassing vast wealth. The declaration came in response to a X post by rapper Erigga, who commended artists who did not possess family wealth and instead had to labor tirelessly to earn their financial success. Erigga's message read, \"Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.\" However, Davido did not agree with this sentiment, asserting that artists from affluent backgrounds could also work diligently to ascend to the pinnacle of their profession. He dismissed Erigga's message as \"useless motivation\" and labeled him an \"imbecile.\" Davido further revealed his plans to exit the music industry to pursue his financial ambitions, stating, \"No worry o I go soon leave their music for una go make my billions... then that s**t gonna be boring AF.\" He concluded the exchange by posing a thought-provoking question, questioning whether individuals genuinely desire to live in poverty and asking, \"Deep down, who like poverty?\"",
