David Adeleke, aka Davido, a superstar of Nigerian afrobeats music, has related how his rich father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, once detained him, show promoters, and audience members at an event where he was scheduled to perform.
He claimed that everyone there was detained at the gathering because he skipped school to pursue music against his father's desires.
The 'Omo Baba Olowo' singer said that the incident took place early in his career.
On Friday night, he made this claim when appearing for the first time in the UK on Channel4's The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan.
"I come from a family where it's like, education, education, business," Davido remarked.My choice to pursue music was like a quarrel at the time.
Any show he [my dad] hear I’m performing at, he sends the police. He arrests the fans, promoters. He has a camera watching where I go to.
The singer performed his hit song ‘Unavailable’ on The lateish Show.
