I would have jumped off the balcony.

Davido made the revelation while reflecting on the downside of fame, explaining that success brought challenges he never expected.

Although he did not elaborate on what led to that moment, his confession offered fans a rare glimpse into the emotional toll that can come with life in the spotlight.
