“My values, not dad’s money” – The secret behind Davido’s success revealed.

Afrobeats sensation Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, attributes his accomplishments in the entertainment world to his core values rather than his affluent upbringing.

During a recent appearance on the podcast ‘Business Untitled,’ Davido pointed out that while some individuals with more financial resources than him have tried to make a mark in the entertainment sector, they haven’t achieved the same level of success that 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”.

“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”.
