Nigerian afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has opened up on how his colleagues, Wizkid and Wande Coal, helped him during the early stages of his career.
Davido, while speaking on the Afrobeats Documentary, explained that he found it hard to focus on his education while building a music career. He also revealed that he knew his father would not allow him to abandon his education for music, but after his song, ‘Dami Duro’, became a hit, he could no longer continue schooling.
Davido disclosed that the duo told him the only way he could leave school and focus on music was to achieve stardom.
“I asked Wizkid and Wande Coal how they left school to do music. They told me the only way was to blow up. I knew my dad wouldn’t allow me, but when ‘Dami Duro’ blew up, I couldn’t continue,” he said.
Davido, however, later returned to school, after reaching an agreement with his father to go back to school in exchange for a recording studio and express permission to pursue his musical career.
