During a recent performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk, a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music in Washington, Davido, said that his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, worked at Burger King, a US fast-food restaurant before he became wealthy.
The music star brought this revelation to light while speaking about his biggest inspiration.
“The inspiration for me has been my father, a Nigerian-American like me. He studied in the States. I studied there myself. I went to HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), a predominantly black college,” he said.
“My dad went to one as well. He used to work at Burger King. He was a manager at Burger King.”
This comes days after the singer recounted the period in his life when he was broke and had no support.
“Damn I went to my old apartments where I used to live 12 years ago with Sina and B red!!! As hard as it is to believe .. we had no money .. no support just us and a dream !! 12 years later ! We millions in ! Road to a billion !!! We thank God !! Never stop believing,” he wrote on Twitter.
