2. He went Missing After He Dropped Out of College
After dropping out of Oakdale University, Davido decided to go missing and chose to travel to London for a few months to make music. If I am not mistaken, this is the trip where he spent some time working on some music with Maleek Berry whom he has known since Davido was 14 years old; way before Maleek connected and eventually signed to Wizkid’s Starboy Records.
“Later, he threw out his SIM card and hopped on a plane to London, where he went MIA for several months as he shifted his focus from production to vocals. “There was no Snapchat, no Instagram. There was barely Twitter,” he says. “I just went off the radar.””
3. His godfather is Aliko Dangote
We knew his Dad and Aliko Dangote were close friends, but the article reveals that Aliko Dangote is actually David’s godfather
“Davido’s childhood home is just a few minutes’ drive away. Inside, there’s a grand marble staircase, and family photos spanning several generations line the walls of multiple living rooms. (Davido’s godfather, it should be noted, is Aliko Dangote, a construction magnate whose estimated $18 billion net worth has earned himForbes’ title of Africa’s richest man for the past three years.)”
4. His Dad Paid To Erect a Music Dept at Babcock University
Amazing story… Chief Adeleke truly invested in his son’s education by erecting a Music department at Babcock University after Davido decided he wanted to study Music instead of Business.
“After the song blew up, Davido, still a student, declared he no longer wanted to study business, and Chief Adeleke paid for the university to erect a music department for an inaugural class of one.”
