David Adeleke, widely recognized as Davido, the renowned Afrobeats artist, has expressed that he faces the most scrutiny among Nigerian celebrities due to his affluent upbringing.

The singer mentioned that the perception of being a “privileged kid” could have impeded his career had he not concealed his background in his early days.

During a recent appearance on the Culture Knock Out podcast, the hitmaker revealed that he already had several successful tracks before his background was made public.

He stated, “I face the harshest criticism as an artist in Nigeria. I’ve been thriving for a substantial time now. Initially, people were unaware of my father’s wealth, so the backlash associated with being a rich kid in music wasn’t as severe for me.

“They didn’t know about my father’s fortune. By the time they found out, I had already released three major hits…

“My passion for music was paramount; I was willing to risk everything, even homelessness, just to pursue it. That was my sole focus. Nothing could deter me.

“As time passed, resentment grew towards me for my dad’s wealth. However, I continue to release quality music, and things have been working out well.

“Criticism is inevitable; once you rise to the top in any field, expect pushback. During elections, people may support you fervently, but once you take the presidency, the disdain often follows.”
