Davido reveals reason his father bought out his first music contract


 

Nigerian singer Davido disclosed that his father, Nigerian business magnate Adedeji Adeleke, bought his music contract because he wanted him to keep 100 percent of his work.

The spectacular singer made this known whilst reacting to a post by entertainment talent manager, Tosin Ashafa, who revealed via a post on the microblogging platform, X, that Davido’s father reached out to them and bought out the contract Davido signed with them.

 He wrote, “I signed @davido to his 1st official contract under Black Diamond Promotions with Cecil Hammond/another silent partner. We hired @GodwinTom to manage him. Dr. Adeleke realized David was really serious with pushing his music without him, reached out to us, and bought us out.”

Reacting, Davido disclosed that his father wanted him to keep 100 percent of his work, even though the contract was a good one.

He wrote, “Lmao I remember this day. No I signed the contract in 2011 … was a good contract not bad ! But daddy wanted me to have 100 percent of whatever I was doing ! Especially after I played him first cut of Dami duro video in his office ! He knew it was game time!!! So much respect to you guys for allowing me walk!! Just know u were part of something that turned out to be phenomenal!!”
