A Nigerian music artist, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has revealed that he does not joke with prayers before a performance on stage.
The music maestro who recently released an album, ‘Timeless’ is said to have covered the latest issue of Forbes’ Afrobeats All-Star; Pioneering The New Global Sound.
David opined that he copied his father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke whose principles, humility and religiousness have contributed to what he is today.
He added that he inherited his father’s steadfastness in prayers.
“I learned so much from being around my dad, watching him in the office, hearing him on the phone, seeing how he handled life. He’s very humble, principled and a strong Christian. Before I step on any stage, my team knows not to mess with my prayers,” he explained.
The Omo Baba Olowo crooner added that his reason for signing artists is not to make money from them but rather to assist them to grow.
He also tipped that he initially hid his music career from his family because the norm was to go to school, graduate and then work for his dad.
