I knew God called me into music because I grew up in a 20-bedroom mansion; luxury everywhere and my mum had all the designer bags — Davido
Afrobeats superstar Davido has opened up about his privileged upbringing, revealing that despite growing up in luxury, his heart was always set on music.
Speaking during an interview, the singer shared how his obsession with music began at a young age, even though he had access to wealth and comfort many could only dream of.
According to Davido, nothing about his wealthy background distracted him from pursuing his passion. “Just that, that’s what drew me closer to music. I just became very obsessed with music, crazy about it. Like, I wasn’t thinking about anything else. Like, I don’t care how many billions my dad had, I was living in a house of like, I grew up in a 20-bedroom, 16 to 20-bedroom house,” he said.
He went on to describe the luxury lifestyle he experienced growing up, noting that expensive cars, vacations, and designer items were a normal part of his childhood. “You know what I’m saying? Like, cars, everything, it’s always been there. We’ve been going on vacation every year. My mom used to have all the Birkins, all the Chanel bags. I’ve seen all that since I was a kid, but I just wanted to do music. That’s what God called me for,” he added.
Davido also revealed that his passion for music once led him to leave home for nearly a year after his father insisted he focus on schooling instead. “I ran away, I wouldn’t say, I left home for like almost a year without no money, nothing,” he disclosed.
During that period, he said he stayed with a friend in a small one-bedroom apartment, despite coming from extreme wealth. “My guy’s asking me like, ‘Why are you staying here? Like, why are you here suffering with us? I’ll switch with you right now!’ But I was like, bro, I want to do music, I want to do music, this is what I want to do,” Davido said.
