Music business success for Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, often known as Davido, is attributed to his principles rather than his affluent upbringing, according to him.
Davido stated that there are others from richer backgrounds than him who have tried to carve out a space for themselves in the entertainment world but haven’t been as successful as he is during his appearance on the American podcast “Business Untitled.”
“There are many billionaires in Nigeria, even richer than my father… And there are people [billionaire’s children] who have tried to do what I have tried to do: music, entertainment, business. But mine has been successful because of my values,” he said.
“The biggest challenge I had when I started music was that my father is wealthy. But I got accepted for one reason and that reason is that I am good, talented. I don’t think I would have ever been accepted if I wasn’t good at what I do.”
