My father bribed me to return to the university – Davido

 

David Adeleke, alias Davido, a Nigerian singer, has disclosed that his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke bribed him to go back to the university.

Davido who disclosed this 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.

“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 ask 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.”
