Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again opened up about his close relationship with his father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, revealing that he still receives financial support from the business mogul, despite his own massive success in the music industry.
Speaking in a recent interview with Club Radio, the DMW boss shared how his father has remained a consistent pillar of support in his life. According to Davido, although he independently funds his musical projects—including albums, videos, and promotions—his dad occasionally spoils him with generous financial gifts.
In a standout moment from the interview, Davido recalled how after a sold-out performance at State Farm Arena, his father not only praised his showmanship but also surprised him by sending a hefty $300,000 as a gesture of pride and love.
“I’m his baby… of course, my dad still gives me cheques,” Davido said with a smile, making it clear that no matter how successful he becomes, he remains his father’s beloved son.
Mixed Reactions Trail the Revelation
As expected, Davido’s disclosure sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with fans and critics sharing their thoughts:
- @cruzzyofficial1 commented: “My dad this, my dad that. Guy rest small.”
- @r33dwan joked: “Poor man pikin go think say Davido papa na electrician.”
- @bigbigfc_ wrote: “Too much lies. You get money, you no get talent.”
- @PurpleKingTony added: “David would be more likeable if he just told the truth. He has nothing to prove. I don’t understand. Maybe it’s a Lagos or short man thing—always lying for no reason.”
- On a more positive note, @knightbrolow24 said: “David’s dad really spoils him… and honestly, that’s how it should be.”
A Testament to Father-Son Bond
Davido’s candid revelation is a reminder that even those who appear to “have it all” still rely on the love and support of family. In a world where many struggle to find stability, the artist’s relationship with his father continues to inspire conversations about privilege, family, and success.
