Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has opened up about his admiration for Davido, describing the singer as someone whose kindness runs deeper than his fame. Speaking during a recent interview, Zubby explained that what draws him to Davido has nothing to do with wealth or celebrity status, but with the singer’s character.
He said his affection for people comes from something spiritual rather than material, and that Davido carries a purity of heart that stands out. According to Zubby, the singer genuinely wants the people around him to thrive, a quality he considers rare and valuable in the industry.
The actor also recalled the first time he met Davido, a moment he clearly still holds onto. Rather than playing it cool the way many public figures might around another celebrity, Zubby said he ran toward him, filming videos and shouting “OBO” without any hesitation. That reaction did not sit well with everyone who witnessed it. Some people questioned why a superstar in his own right would act that starstruck over another artist, suggesting he was diminishing himself.
Zubby did not take kindly to the criticism. He pushed back firmly, telling those who judged him that they had no standing to dictate how he should feel or react toward someone he genuinely admires. For him, the moment was never about status or optics, it was about a real bond he feels toward Davido.
Beyond the emotional connection, Zubby also shared a more tangible memory tied to the singer, revealing that Davido was responsible for giving him his first-ever experience flying on a private jet. He described the gesture as something he will carry with him for a long time, a small but memorable example of the generosity he associates with the singer.
Zubby’s comments add to a growing list of public tributes from colleagues and friends who have spoken warmly about Davido’s personality off stage, painting a picture of an artist whose influence extends beyond music into the everyday lives of people close to him.
