I Left Our $60 Million Home And Went To My Friend's Studio To Sleep - Davido
David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is a Nigerian afrobeats musician who has spoken of leaving his father's $60 million house in Lagos to live in a friend's studio.
He claimed that most people assumed he didn't have to work hard to get famous due of his rich upbringing.
In a recent interview with Real 92.3 FM in Atlanta, he made this claim.
Davido said, "People don't really know about my past like the early part of of my career. What was difficult for me was coming from a very wealthy background. Everybody just felt like, 'Nah, his dad...This is money'. I dropped several records before they had to agree like, 'Okay, he is actually good.'
"You know people love the grass to grace story. Everybody love the story of 'I was down bad, now I'm up.' I had never been really down bad. But I was passionate about music. We had a $60million-house in Nigeria that I ran away from; I was sleeping in my friend's studio, hot. They were look at me crazy like 'Bro, you better go home.' I said, 'I'm not going home."
He claimed he refused to return home because he would be imprisoned and prevented from performing music.
