Ace Afrobeats singer, songwriter and record label owner, David Adeleke, better known as Davido has disclosed how his billionaire father and business magnate, Adedeji Adeleke, ensured he finished his tertiary education
According to the “In The Garden” crooner, he once dropped out of the University to pursue his music dreams, but his dad, who frowned at the development, cajoled him to return to the university and complete his studies.
Davido said the Adeleke patriarch struck a deal with him, pledging to build him a world class studio and fund his music video shoots as long as he agreed to return to school and earn a degree.
The award winning artiste also stated that the businessman said he could attend classes from Mondays to Fridays and hit the studio on weekends to make music.

The 30-year-old singer further said the mouth-watering offers were too difficult for him to resist or turn down, and that he had to ultimately return to the university to complete his education and get a degree.
Davido said: “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. 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.”
