Nigerian superstar Davido has opened up about how his father, Adedeji Adeleke, had to bribe him in order to go back to the university.
The OBO crooner in a recent interview said he initially left school and even ran away from home, but was eventually forced to return to complete his education after his father made him a juicy deal.
The deal entailed that if Davido attended school from Mondays to Fridays, his father would build him a world-class studio and provide him with money to shoot music videos on weekends.
Davido, who was featured on the latest episode of the +44 Amazon Music podcast, disclosed that he quit music until he graduated from school with a second-class degree.
“My dad is just big on education. The first place I came to when I ran from home was London. From there I came back to Nigeria and my dad wanted me to go to school so I was like ‘What is in it for me?’.
“He said if I go to school, he has a land not far; he will build me a studio. But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio during the weekend. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos,” he added.
