Davido Reveals Why His Dad Had To Bribe Him Years Ago.

Davido discloses the reason his father bribed him to attend school.
In a recent interview, Davido admitted that his father had bribed him to attend school.
In a video interview, the well-known musician claimed that despite his father’s wishes, he had little interest in attending school.
He was, however, presented with an offer that he could not reject. His father promised to construct him a top-notch studio and give him money to make some videos on the weekends if he attended school from Monday through Friday.
“I was forced back to uni. I was kind of bribed,” he said.
“My dad is just big on education. The first place I came to when I ran from home was London.
“From there I came back to Nigeria and my dad wanted me to go to school ask so I was like ‘What is in it for me?’.
“He said if I go to school, he has a land not far; he will build me a studio.
“But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio during the weekend.
“It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos.
Davido’s original intention was to attend school for a bit and then drop out once his music video was finished, but after he created the popular song “Dami Duro,” things changed.
He recognised the song had become well-known when he heard it being played in a club and made the decision to focus on his music career instead.
“My plan was that I will do it for three months and once I shoot my video, I’m dipping again. That was my mindset. I finally made the song ‘Dami Duro’.
“When I made it, I dropped it and then I went back to school. When I went back to school, my friend called me.
“He said he went to the club and ‘Dami Duro’ was played. I said ‘Oh my song is blown in Lagos’.
“So I went upstairs and packed my bags,” he said.
