“My Father Lives A Very Humble Life Despite Being A Billionaire – Davido
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, the popular Nigerian award-winning artist, has revealed how his affluent father Adedeji Adeleke lived a simple life.
The “Aye” singer recently admitted that he wasn’t close to his father until he was approximately 13 years old since it was all about work. His father would depart in the early morning and return late at night.
His father led a regular life and was always building things, so he didn’t find out until he was 13 that he was a wealthy guy.
According to him, his father drove a Honda Accord, and his mother drove a Toyota even though they had money to buy any expensive car of their choice.
Davido says he only got to realise that he belonged to a rich family when they moved into their new home.
“Even till date, he is still so humble with the way he spends and goes about his business. The way he handles his business is still amazing to me,” he said on Instagram.
I remember growing up till I was like 11, I wasn’t close to my dad because it was all about work work work. I remember him coming home late every day. I didn’t know what he was doing. I didn’t know we were rich till probably I was like 13 because he lived so normal.
He has a Civic Honda Accord and a driver, my mom had a Toyota or something, and I didn’t know until we moved to the new house. So we get to the new house, I will never forget and I’m like oh really,” Davido revealed.
Davido’s father is one of the richest men in Nigeria and Africa, with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.
