Being a rich man’s son made me an easy target— Davido opens up

Afrobeats star Davido claims no Nigerian artist has faced more trolling than him.

He discussed his music journey and the challenges he faces. Being the son of a wealthy man makes him an easy target for criticism.

“In Nigeria, if you’re the son of a successful man, you gonna get it,” he said. He believes he is the most disrespected artist in Nigeria's history.

Davido noted that even his signees deal with online trolls. He advises them to ignore negative comments.

Born David Adedeji Adeleke, Davido is a Nigerian Afrobeats superstar. He is also a singer, songwriter, and record producer.

He is one of Africa’s biggest music exports. His hit songs include "Fall," "If," "Unavailable," and "Feel."

Davido has won numerous awards and sold out concerts worldwide. He has collaborated with stars like Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, and Popcaan.

His father, Adedeji Adeleke, is one of Nigeria’s richest businessmen. Adedeji founded Adeleke University and chairs Pacific Holdings Limited.

He is a billionaire with investments in various sectors including education and real estate.

Davido grew up in luxury, making him a target for criticism in the music scene. Many respect artists who “came from the bottom.”

Despite his talent, trolls accuse him of having an easy path due to his father's wealth. This narrative is something Davido continues to fight against.
