I actually feel sad for Davido now that he's making his marriage to Chioma official.

The reason is because, his music career will gradually fade away.

Nigerian artists don’t do well with marriages and we have seen this play out over time with so many celebrities.

Once they marry, boom! Their career starts to dwindle.

Omawunmi used to be bigger than Tiwa Savage in those days, until marriage happened to her.

P-square used to deliver hits upon hits, until they got married.

Dbanj, same situation.

Tubaba too.

Tiwa had to divorce her husband, so she could focus on her career.

The reason is not because their talent dies down, but due to the fact that marriage comes with so many responsibilities.

For one, once you get married as a male artist, you automatically lose your hardcore female fan base.

Nobody is going to see you on stage and faint for you anymore. Nobody will see you on stage and want to touch you inappropriately. You can’t even pick a girl on stage and dance with her.

Now, who do these artists sing for? It’s primarily the girls. If you don’t have them to push your songs as hard as they would, how will you trend?

There are certain places you can’t be anymore, because bloggers are more than ready to have a field day with your story.

You can’t even use certain lyrics in your songs anymore.

So, let’s just say that marriage comes with giving up certain responsibilities, which is supposed to be good buzz for you as an artist.

The only time this doesn’t come to play, is when two artists marry themselves. At least, they both understand the game, so it’s not going to be too much of an issue.

It’s said to say that David probably has two years left in the music industry as a married man, and that’s it.

He’ll fade just like the rest.
