Award-winning singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has asserted that his success in the entertainment industry is not due to his affluent background but to his values.
While appearing on the American podcast ‘Business Untitled,’ Davido pointed out that there are individuals from wealthier backgrounds who have tried to make a mark in the entertainment industry but have not achieved the same level of success as he has.
“There are many billionaires in Nigeria, even richer than my father… And there are people [billionaire’s children] who have tried to do what I have tried to do: music, entertainment, business. But mine has been successful because of my values,” he said.
“The biggest challenge I had when I started music was that my father is wealthy. But I got accepted for one reason and that reason is that I am good, talented. I don’t think I would have ever been accepted if I wasn’t good at what I do”.
