David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, a Nigerian superstar afrobeat musician, has provided an explanation for why his rich business mogul father, Adedeji Adeleke, ordered the arrest of his show's organizers and fans.
Despite the fact that the incident happened a while ago, Davido claimed in an interview with Mo Gilligan of Channel4 on the Lateish Show that his father was passionate about business and education and couldn't bear for his son to live without a proper education.
When Davido's father learned of an event at which he was scheduled to perform, he would, according to Davido, call for the police to assault the venue and take away any fans they could find in addition to the event's organizers.
According to Punch Newspaper, he said, “I come from a family where it’s like, education, education, business, so over time my decision to do music was like a beef.
“Any show he [my dad] heard I’m performing at, he sends the police. He arrests the fans, and promoters. He has a camera watching wherever I go to.”
He did, however, acknowledge that his father's choice was influenced by the fact that he skipped school in the beginning of his musical career.
