Famous Nigerian artist David Adeleke, nicknamed Davido, has revealed how his millionaire father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, bribed him to finish his degree program.
Davido received a second-class upper degree from Babcock University’s Music Department in Osun State.
The singer said on the current episode of the +44 Amazon Music podcast that he was obliged to return to university after initially quitting to focus on his music career.
He said that his father agreed to construct him a world-class studio and provide him with funding to shoot music videos on weekends if he attended lectures from Mondays to Fridays.
He said, “He [my dad] 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. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos.”
