Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, known professionally as Davido, has revealed that his family initially didn’t take him seriously when he ventured into music.
The 30BG boss recently revealed this in an interview with Jazzy’s World TV.
According to Davido, one of the reasons he was not taken seriously was because he was the youngest in the family.
He said his family only started supporting him after he started making waves in the Nigerian music industry.
“When I wanted to do music, imagine being the last born of the family. I’m like, yo I want to do music. I’m going to be a superstar one day.
“Imagine trying to influence everybody in a family [where] you are the last born. Nobody took me serious. You feel me?
“But as I got older, they looked and they saw that, yo he is really good in this. And then finally, they let me do what I want to do. But being the last born, I love it. If I had a challenge, my older siblings, they will be at my back for real.” He said.
It is worth recalling that the Nigerian superstar singer once revealed that his father bribed him to go back to school.
According to him, although his father loved education and wanted him to go back to school, he was not interested.
He said he initially dropped out of school and even ran away from home, but was eventually forced to return to complete his studies when his father made him a juicy deal.
The deal was that if he attends school from Mondays to Fridays, his father would build him a top-notch studio and give him money to shoot music videos on weekends. (Continue reading)
