Why Coming From A Wealthy Background Was Difficult For Me – Davido
Music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has said that in the early life of his musical career, he faced difficulties because of his wealthy family background.
Davido on Tuesday said people judged him by his father’s wealth and he had to drop several records before people believed that he was actually good in music
“People don’t really know about my past like the early part 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 looking at me crazy like ‘Bro, you better go home.’ I said, ‘I’m not going home” Davido said while speaking on REAL 92.3 FM.
