May 24, (THEWILL) – Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has shared some of the things he went through for pitching his tent in the music industry against his father’s will.
In an interview with Real 92.3, in Los Angeles, the singer shared his musical journey and how his father disapproved of his music career when he started.
The Afrobeats star said his father did not know he was a musician until about two years after he started recording his songs.
According to Davido, he did not tell his father about his music because he looked up to him and did not want to disappoint him.
“My Dad didn’t know I was a musician till about two years after I started recording. I’m the last child of five. All my siblings graduated and had their master’s degrees. So, I was expected to do the same,” he stated.
The singer added that he once had a big show and his father sent the police to arrest him, the promoter and everyone else at the forefront just because he refused to leave music.
