Critics hate me because my dad is rich – Davido

Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he is the most criticised celebrity in Nigeria simply for being from a wealthy background.Davido claimed that the “rich kid” stigma could have affected his career if he hadn’t hidden his background in the beginning.Speaking in a recent episode of the Culture Knock Out podcast, the OBO crooner explained that he already scored a couple of hit songs when his background became public knowledge.He said, “I’m the biggest criticised artist in Nigeria. I mean, I’m on fire and I’ve been on fire for a while. In the beginning, they didn’t know that my dad was rich. So the stigma of a rich kid doing music didn’t end up as crazy as it should have been for me.“People didn’t know my father was rich. It was too late, I already did three hit songs before they found out that my dad had money…“But I just wanted to do music. I didn’t care if I had to become homeless. At that point, that was all I wanted to do. Nothing would stop me.“Over time, people started hating me because my dad is rich. But I keep on dropping good music, and it keeps working out.“It happens to everyone, once you become the biggest in anything, you will get criticised. You are doing an election, people love you and they vote for you. But when you become president, they hate you.”
