How My Dad Bribed Me To Go Back To University – Davido Reveals
David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, is a well-known Nigerian singer who has opened up about how his career began and how his father made a concerted effort to get him to enroll in school.
He described how his millionaire father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, bought his degree for him.
At Babcock University in Osun State’s Music Department, Davido received a second-class upper degree.
The singer admitted that after originally leaving school to concentrate on his music career, he was obliged to return during an appearance on the most recent episode of the +44 Amazon Music podcast.
He disclosed that his father made a bargain with him under which, in exchange for his attendance at classes from Monday through Friday, his father would construct him a top-notch studio and give him money to film music videos on the weekends.
“He [my dad] said if I go to school, he has a land not far away; he will build me a studio,” he remarked. But I have to go to school Monday through Friday and work at the studio on the weekends. It was an exceptional studio. He’ll pay me so I can film some videos.
