Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that travelling with a large entourage sometimes creates accommodation challenges in London, claiming that hotels occasionally ask him and his group to leave after just two days.
The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, discussed the experience during an interview with Afrobeats Unfiltered, explaining that his frequent travels with staff members and family make it difficult to secure suitable accommodation for extended stays.
According to Davido, the size of his travelling party is a major reason behind the hotel difficulties he experiences during visits to the United Kingdom.
“I get kicked out of hotels in London after two days because I have a lot of staff and family who travel with me,” he said.
Why Davido Is Careful About Booking Airbnb Properties
The award-winning musician also explained why he is selective about using Airbnb properties when travelling.
Davido said he prefers booking apartments through the platform only when he personally knows the building’s owners.
He explained that having a relationship with the property owners makes him more comfortable, particularly when it comes to potential damage during his stay.
“I don’t like booking Airbnb unless I know the owners of the building, so when I break something, I don’t have to pay,” he added.
His remarks suggest that accommodation arrangements involve more than simply finding a place to sleep, especially when travelling with a large group.
Davido Insists He Can Afford His Expenses
Despite the challenges, Davido was keen to make it clear that money is not the issue when it comes to securing accommodation.
The singer maintained that he has sufficient financial resources to cover his hotel stays and other travel expenses.
“But I’ve got a lot of money, though,” he said.
Davido’s comments offer a glimpse into the logistical demands of travelling as an international music star with a large team and family members.
While his entourage allows him to travel with the people who support and accompany him, finding accommodation that can comfortably accommodate everyone appears to present its own challenges.
