Davido

Omo Baba Olowo (O.B.O), christened David Adeleke, has revealed how unsupportive his father was when he made the decision to do music.

In an exclusive interview, Davido revealed that his father once arrested him because of his decision to go into music career. He said his father was not impressed when he left the US where he was studying Engineering to return to Lagos to pursue carrier in music.

“My dad didn’t like me doing music! If he saw my face on a billboard, he’d arrest everybody at that show!

“But when I made the song ‘Dami Duro’ [2011], it became the biggest track in Africa; it’s saying: ‘I’m the son of a rich man, you can’t stop me, and people love me.’

“It now feels good for dad to see that music can take me this far."
