Popular Nigerian artist Davido has opened up on why he has a special relationship with Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.
Speaking in a chat with Earn Your Leisure podcast, the FEM hitmaker revealed that Dangote was the one who drove him home from hospital when he was born.
He said Dangote always reminds him of it whenever they get the opportunity to talk.
“Dangote drove me home from the hospital when I was born. Anytime I see Uncle Aliko, he tells me, David save your money”, he said.
When asked how he is empowering younger artists, the DMW boss said: “It’s all love, shout out to this new generation, I hope they don’t make the mistakes that we made. I wasn’t welcomed when I came into the industry based on my background. I really had to show them that I am good at this. I have a lot of friends in the industry and I feel like, unity will make us become stronger.
Shout out to these new artists, they are going crazy. They are innovative. They are very smart young bright artists coming out of this country. All of them come here, we hang out. I tell them my two cents”.
