Popular Nigerian singer, Davido has in his recent interview in US, on Atlanta's 93.2 FM disclosed that his success story is not well represented.
The singer countered the speculation that his music career breakthrough was hugely aided by his father's affluence. He said people never believed in his music breakthroughs at the early stage of his career. He said such people attributed his breakthroughs to his father.
According to him, in as much as his story is not that of a rise from grass to grace, his stardom was not a product of happenstance. He said, due to his commitment and passion for music, he ran away from his father's sixty million Naira luxurious house in Lagos to a music studio which belonged to one his friends.
He said: "People don’t really know about my past like the early part of my career. What was difficult for me was coming from a very wealthy background. Everybody just felt like, ‘Nah, his dad…This is money’. I dropped several records before they had to agree like, ‘Okay, he is actually good.’

“You know people love the grass to grace story. Everybody loves the story of ‘I was down bad, now I’m up.’ I had never been really down bad. But I was passionate [about music]. We had a $ 60 million house in Nigeria that I ran away from; I was sleeping in my friend’s studio, hot. They were looking at me crazy like ‘Bro, you better go home.’ I said, ‘I’m not going home.”
