Award-winning Nigerian singer Davido has penned a touching tribute to his father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, as he marks another year.
Taking to his Instagram page, the DMW boss expressed his profound love and gratitude, describing his father as an “angel in human form.” He also reaffirmed his commitment to making his father proud at every stage of his life and career.
Sharing his heartfelt message, Davido wrote:
“Happy birthday daddy. An angel in human form. Thank you for everything sir. I love you and I will continue to make you proud.”
Dr. Deji Adeleke, a billionaire businessman and philanthropist, has played a significant role in shaping Davido’s journey, providing unwavering support throughout his career. The singer’s tribute reflects the deep bond they share and his appreciation for his father’s influence in his life.
Recall, during a podcast interview with ‘Rollingout,’ the DMW boss reflected on his Christian upbringing and the influence his father, a successful businessman and elder in the church, had on his personal and professional life.
Davido credited his father’s religious values for guiding him through difficult times. Growing up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and attending a Christian college, he learned the importance of faith in facing life’s trials.
In his own words, Davido shared, “My dad is very successful, but he’s an elder in the church. I grew up as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I attended a Christian college.”
