Davido opens up on the secret of his musical success
Renowned musician David Adeleke, widely recognized by his stage moniker Davido, has emphasized that his success in the music industry was not facilitated by his father’s wealth, contrary to popular belief.
During his appearance on the American podcast “Business Untitled,” he refuted the notion and pointed out that individuals from more privileged backgrounds than his own have struggled to achieve success.
Davido highlighted the challenges he faced initially due to his father’s financial status, stating that his talent and perseverance eventually earned him acceptance in the industry.
He confidently asserted that his proficiency and dedication to his craft played a pivotal role in garnering acceptance, suggesting that his competence was crucial to his success.

“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.
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.”
