Davido disclosed in an interview on the Business Untitled Podcast that his daddy, Adedeji Adeleke, gave him his stage name.
The ‘Timeless’ hitmaker said his father initially didn’t support him being a singer.
The 31-year-old revealed his father started calling him ‘Davido’ when he heard his song played on the radio.
Davido, who rose to fame with his 2012 hit ‘Dami Duro’ in 2023, revealed his father became overprotective of him after his mother’s death.
Similarly, the singer renounced Afrobeats and declared himself an Afrofusion singer.
He joined Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Fireboy as artistes who ditched the genre.
