Nigerian singer, Adebayo Adeleke, better known as B-Red in an interview with Echo room shares story of selling TVs to fund music career with cousin Davido
B-Red reminisced about their journey in the music industry and revealed how Don Jazzy had offered to support them if they returned to Nigeria.
In their quest for funds, B-Red and Davido resorted to selling 20 TVs from Davido’s father’s house, a bold move driven by desperation.
Initially, they attempted to sell Davido’s father’s cars, but the vehicles were registered in his name, posing a challenge.
Despite Davido’s father buying a Hyundai for B-Red, they tried to sell it, but Davido cleverly altered the car’s ownership documents to his name.
While B-Red acknowledges some regret over their actions, he also expresses gratitude for the experience.
“Don Jazzy told us to come to Nigeria and he would support us after we hosted him for 5 hours.”
“Me and Davido wanted to sell all the cars in the house, but we couldn’t because the cars weren’t in our names. Davido’s father bought him Hyundai but luckily before we could sell it he had already changed the car documents to his name. We couldn’t sell off the cars but we sold up to 16 to 17s TV plus 3 TVs from the basement.”
“I busted Davido’s father’s house and we sold 20 TVs from his father’s house.”
“I regret doing all these things but at the same time, I am happy. I regretted it because of the disrespect, but at the same time I am happy I did it”.
