Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has recounted how his billionaire dad, Chief Adedeji Adeleke once arrested him. He had also arrested show promoters and fans who attended an event he was billed to perform.
Against his father’s wishes, he allegedly skipped school to perform music, and he claimed that his father had detained everyone present at the event.
The ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ crooner said the incident happened in the early days of his career.
He stated this while making his UK debut on The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan on Channel 4.
Davido said,
“I come from a family where it’s like, education, education, business…Overtime [my decision to do music] was like a beef.
“Any show he [my dad] hears I’m performing at, he sends the police. He arrests the fans, and promoters. He has a camera watching where I go to.”
The singer performed his hit song ‘Unavailable’ on The Lateish Show.
