April 25, (THEWILL) – David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has spoken glowingly on how much his father cares and influences his life and his career.
He made this known while speaking at the Forbes Under 30 summit in Botswana on Monday.
According to him, he often has arguments with his father, Adedeji Adeleke, on how he spends his money and advises him on Investments and savings.
He added that his dad doesn’t like to see him spend extravagantly on materialistic things.
“Showbiz, is still business. Sometimes we get into a lot of arguments. You know, showbiz is different from a normal person’s life that is just doing business.
“For example, I might be in Italy and maybe he just sees a caption ‘Oh Davido bought this $300,000 watch’. He will be like ‘Why are you wasting money like that’? I will be like, Dad you won’t understand. We are using it to inspire people. But all in all, it is still business.
“He still calls me to make sure that I save here, invest there.
“For example, I wanted to rent a penthouse. He advised me, ‘You are wasting money by spending on that rent. Buy it and use it when you are around.
“Little advice here and there.
“It took a while for him to accept my music. But now he has fully accepted it”, he stated.
