One of the most recurring searches on the internet today about the Afrobeat superstar, Davido, whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke, revolves around his net worth, how much wealth he has amassed, and his luxurious collections, ranging from cars, jewellery, and houses, among others. To satisfy this curiosity, this article has been succinctly crafted to answer all the pertinent questions about Davido.
Who is Davido?
It’s pivotal to have an insight into who the Afrobeat sensation, Davido, truly is, to dymistify some of the seeming mysteries surrounding him. Davido, whose real name is David Adedeji Adeleke, is a Nigerian-American musician who incorporates singing, songwriting, and record producing in his career.
Davido was born in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America, on November 21, 1992. His father, Adedeji Adeleke, is a billionaire business magnate from Osun State, Nigeria, and his mother, Veronica Adeleke, was a university lecturer who passed away at the age of 39 on March 6, 2003, due to an alleged heart attack.
Without a reasonable doubt, Davido’s wealthy family background largely shaped the luxurious lifestyle he lives today. While this assertion is undisputable, it is pertinent to note that his journey to stardom in the music profession was not rosy. He suffered resistance from his father before breaking forth, which underscores the power of passion and resilience.
Davido’s Music Career
Davido was born with an inherent talent for music, but his unflinching passion for making a career out of it is what made the difference. Born into a very wealthy family, his father had a plan for him, which was bipolar and maintained a far critical departure from what Davido wanted, which was to do music by all means.
Davido was enrolled at Oakwood University in Alabama, US, to study business administration, but he dropped out to pursue his passion. His father became his biggest nightmare as he made all the efforts he could to stop Davido from “derailing” and focusing on what appeared to be more professional and decent. However, all his efforts proved abortive, and he subsequently aligned with Davido’s choice after several threats and disciplines, which didn’t yield positive results. Davido finally obtained his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music at Babcock University, Nigeria, in 2015. Reports have it that Davido’s father single-handedly spearheaded the establishment of the department of Music in the institution, just so his son could study and obtain a degree.
Davido officially kicked off his music career in 2012 with the release of his first studio album, Omo Baba Oluwa. He rose to fame with the release of “Dami Duro” which was the second track in his first album. Fast forward to the present, Davido has become one of the most successful musicians in Africa and beyond. He currently has a total of five studio albums, one EP and over one hundred and three singles and has earned the epithet “King of Afrobeat”, otherwise known as the 001.
Davido has garnered several awards and nominations, including winning the 2017 MOBO Award for Best African Act and the 2018 BET Award for Best International Act etc. He has bagged multiple Grammy award nominations, among others.
