Grammy nominated Afrobeat singer Davido has revealed his interest in exploring the film industry, expressing a desire to play the role of a taxi driver in a movie.

The singer made this known on Monday during a panel session at the 2025 Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) held in Lagos.

Speaking at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) panel session titled; “Rhythms of the Continent: The Afrobeat Movement and Its Impacts on African Film”, Davido expressed his excitement about venturing into film production and collaborating with African creatives.

“My brother was saying that he was going to give me a role. I told him I wanted to do a role that would be shot by a taxi driver or something — like something out of the blue. He has to figure that out. So, I definitely want to get involved in movies,” he said.

The award-winning artist cited international stars like 50 Cent, who have successfully transitioned into film and television production, as his inspiration.

He revealed that he draws inspiration from story-driven productions such as the series “Uncorked,” which focus on culture, identity, and personal journeys.

The singer said his goal is to highlight African creativity and showcase the richness of its culture through storytelling.
