Famous Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, on Wednesday narrated how he got into trouble in 2011 for skipping school to perform in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, an experience he described as a defining moment in his early music career.
Davido, son of Osun State multi-billionaire, who stated this through his official x handle on Wednesday, said that he left Babcock University to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour in Ibadan alongside Asa, Peju, B-Red, and Sina.
“In 2011, I skipped school to perform in Ibadan. Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour.
“I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble,” he wrote.
Speaking on how far he has come in his career, the singer celebrated the growth of his career and the success of his ongoing 5ive Alive Tour.
“14 years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books. To my peers let’s build back home and give back to our roots,” he added.
The singer also thanked sponsors of the tour while hinting at upcoming performances.
“Big love to all our sponsors for backing this historic tour. Abuja and Lagos up next, but next stop is ATL for my birthday, State Farm Arena on November 20th!” Davido said.
