‘I wish my mum saw the Davido that I am now’
Award-winning singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has spoken about losing his mother at an early age and his relationship with his baby mamas.
In an interview with The Juice on Ndani TV, the singer revealed that his baby mamas were not one night stands.
He said,
“I won’t say that not having a mother made me independent but I was close to my mother and I was a mummy’s boy. Then, I was not bothered about my father because he was too busy. My mum was the one that always came to my school, checked my grades and did other things. When my mum died, it was very hard for me. Being with my dad was hard. I always went to church and attended a lot of bible study programmes at the Seven Days Adventist Church. My teenage years were very rough for my dad but over time, we got closer. I wish my mum saw the Davido that I am now.
“I have lived a very carefree life. At the beginning of my career, I was not thinking of saving money. People say I was doing that because I have a rich father but that was not it. Right now, I am trying to branch out and look for more avenues to make money. I‘m signing new artistes, building some apartments and trying to build a hotel.
“I am a stubborn person but me and Imade’s mum (Sophia Momodu) are now the best of friends. The fight was between our families; it was not about us having personal problems. The relationship was sour for years but I realised that Imade was growing up, so we had to do it for her. I was romantically involved with all my children’s mothers; they were not one night stands.”
Meanwhile, the Davido Music Worldwide boss released his new album, titlted ‘A Better Time’ on Friday. The album has received a lot of mentions on social media from personalities such as American artistes, Chris Brown and Nikki Minaj, former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, Tiwa Savage and his fans.
