Davido recently shared a touching story about receiving a generous gift from his father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, after a concert in the United States. Speaking during an interview on Clue Radio, the Afrobeats superstar revealed that his billionaire dad gave him a $300,000 gift after he performed at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

According to Davido, his father attended the show and was very impressed. After the performance, he sent a message saying “well done” and followed it up with a huge cash gift. This moment shows the strong bond between Davido and his father, who has supported his career from the very beginning.
Fans may remember the famous line from Davido’s 2012 hit single Dami Duro, where he proudly says, “Omo baba olowo,” which translates to “son of a rich man.” Although Davido has since made his own fortune through music, endorsements, and business ventures, he admits that his father still supports him financially from time to time.

“If I tell you that my dad doesn’t give his kids money, I will be lying to you,” he said during the interview. He explained that while he earns a lot from music, most of the money goes into marketing and promotion. Every now and then, his father surprises him with financial gifts.
In addition to the touching story, Davido also shared some exciting news. He revealed that he co-produced a few tracks on his upcoming album, 5ive. This highlights his growth not just as a performer, but also as a producer involved in the creative process.
With 5ive on the way and his latest family story warming hearts, Davido continues to show that success is even more meaningful when shared with loved ones.
