Why I Ran Away From Our $60m House – Davido Speaks On His Life Difficulties

Popular Nigerian singer David Adeleke, a.k.a Davido, has revealed that he once ran away from his family’s house worth 60-million-dollar to sleep in a friend’s studio.

Davido while speaking on REAL 92.3 FM on Tuesday, said he ran away to sleep in his friend’s studio because of his love for music coupled with the restrictions he would get once he is at home.

The singer added that coming from a wealthy family was one of his life difficulties as people saw him as a ‘rich kid’ not necessarily his effort.

In his words;

“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 look at me crazy like ‘Bro, you better go home.’ I said, ‘I’m not going home.”
