Here is what we know about Davido’s parents – His late mom, Her generosity, father’s business and much more (PICS)

The entire Adeleke family always knew that they want to thrive for success. The older brother of Deji, Isiaka Adeleke, was also inspired by their father’s fruitful career and proceeded to become the Governor of Osun State. Unfortunately, Isiaka Adeleke passed away last year.

Davido always knew that his family lays high expectations for him. According to the words of people who know him, Deji Adeleke is a straightforward person, who kept his children under strict discipline. He always made sure Davido stays at school and completes his education, even when the young singer already started becoming famous, and his wish was to exchange university for the stage.

Deji Adeleke donated a lot of money to the institution where his son Davido studied, Babcock University. These contributions led to the building of a new gorgeous hall. Deji also built a new edifice at the local Seventh Day Adventist church.

The father of Davido is a man who has made himself a name, and it is appreciated that he does not just spend his wealth on the riches for himself and his family but also donates great amounts of money to the charity. He also made a very serious and hardworking person out of Davido by raising him the way he did.

Davido’s mother

The mother of Davido was named Veronica Imade Adeleke. She married Deji Adeleke and had two children with him: Davido and his sister Sharon (Coco). She worked as a lecturer at the Babcock University, where her son attended. Veronica Adeleke was a generous person with a big heart, aside from being a beautiful and intelligent woman.

When Veronica Adeleke suddenly passed away in 2003, the whole university campus started mourning the loss. She was only 39 years old when she passed away. Not much else is known about Veronica, except that she was interested in music just like her son. She had a band, which she called after her son – “David’s Band”. This band later performed at the funeral of Veronica.

Every year, the Adeleke family commemorates the loss of their mother. They invite a lot of family friends and people who used to know her. Davido still remembers his mother very fondly and speaks only good words about her. He often uploads photos of his mom. He even gave his daughters middle names after her, as they are called Aurora Imade and Hailey Veronica Adeleke. Davido really does everything to make sure that the memory of his mother will live on forever.
