Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, has shared in an interview with Business Untitled that it was his father who gave him his stage name.
Despite initial hesitation from Adedeji Adeleke about his son’s pursuit of a music career, Davido recounted the moment his father heard his song on the radio and began referring to him as “Davido.”
The award-winning musician said when his song played on the radio, his father heard it and started calling him “Davido”.
“I do not think my dad is tough. I blew up when I was 17. Imagine a 17-year-old child and you could not reach him, my dad is the sole parent,” he said.
“Like I told you, I am the first generation entertainer. I don’t think he did not want me to do music, he just wanted me to be successful.
“So when I moved back to Nigeria, he did not know. Then he heard my voice on the radio, shouting Davido and he gave me that name. My dad gave me Davido….. He just wanted me to go to school which I eventually did.”
