Logos Olori Discusses Davido’s Unique Work Ethic and Success

DMW signee Logos Olori has offered insight into what he believes drives Davido’s remarkable work ethic, saying the Afrobeats superstar remains intensely committed to music despite coming from a wealthy family.

Olori made the comments during a recent episode of the Wahala Podcast, where he discussed his journey in the Nigerian music industry, his relationship with Davido and the experience of working with the award-winning singer.

According to Olori, Davido approaches his career with the determination of someone who has everything to prove.

“Davido works like he doesn’t have money,” Olori said, explaining that he believes competition and passion are among the factors that keep the singer pushing himself.

He added that Davido does not appear to be motivated primarily by the financial rewards of music.

“He’s very passionate. I don’t think he needs music money; he just does it for fun.”

Olori’s comments offer his personal perspective on why Davido has continued to maintain a demanding music career despite his financial background.

Olori suggested that Davido’s love for music is a major reason for his longevity in the industry.

The comments also echo Davido’s own explanation of his career. In an August 2026 interview with The FADER, Davido said that although the financial rewards of music are significant, he believes his passion for the craft is what has kept him active after 15 years in the industry.

Davido said he would have retired earlier if money had been his only motivation, emphasizing his continued excitement about recording music, performing and working in the studio.

During the podcast conversation, Olori also discussed his own path to joining Davido Music Worldwide.

He revealed that his work as a songwriter on Davido’s hit “Unavailable” played an important role in bringing him into the DMW fold. The song became one of Davido’s notable records and helped establish a stronger professional relationship between the two artists.

Olori also revealed that he had been living comfortably in Dubai before deciding to relocate to Nigeria and pursue music more seriously.

His move marked a major change as he shifted his focus toward building a career as an artist and songwriter within Nigeria’s competitive music scene.

Olori’s comments provide a glimpse into his experience working around one of Africa’s most prominent music stars.

For him, Davido’s success is not simply connected to his family background or financial resources. Instead, Olori points to the singer’s passion, competitive spirit and willingness to continue working as important parts of what has sustained his career.

As Olori continues developing his own career under the DMW umbrella, his experience alongside Davido remains an important part of his journey in the Nigerian music industry.
