He expresses that he told his Dad that Entertainment business is completely different from the normal business dynamics especially when he spends a large sum of money on an items his father may feel was unnecessary.
The singer said:
“It’s still business. Sometimes we get into a lot of arguments. Because you know, showbiz is different from a normal person’s life that is just doing business.
“Like for example, I might be in Italy and maybe he just sees a caption ‘Oh Davido buys this $300,000 watch’. He’ll call me and be like ‘Why are you wasting money like that’? I will be like, Dad you won’t understand. We are inspiring people. But all in all, it is still business.
“He still calls me to make sure that I save here, invest there. For example, I wanted to rent a penthouse and stuff like that. He advised me, ‘You are wasting money by spending on that (rent). Buy it and use it when you are around. Little advice here and there.
