Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and record producer David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, disclosed in a statement that he only became aware of his family’s wealth when he turned 13.
During an exclusive conversation, he provided insights into his upbringing and talked about his father, emphasizing that his dad is disciplined and has a different approach, contrary to the popular perception of wealth associated with his family.
“I didn’t know we had money till I was 13. Despite being a billionaire, my dad drove a Honda Accord, I’m telling you.”
He continued to recount how he discovered his father‘s wealth, saying, “Let me tell you how I found out. Something happened in Nigeria, in the area where we lived. There was a mistake, like a bomb blast, and many houses got destroyed.”
“Our first house, from my birth until around age 11, was a big compound with a bungalow. When that incident occurred, we had to leave immediately because the house got so messed up.”
