Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed he is the most criticised singer in Nigeria due to his wealthy background.
In a recent episode of the ‘Culture Knock Out’ podcast, the OBO crooner said the ‘rich kid’ stigma could have affected his career if he had initially not hidden his background.
The Afrobeat singer stated that he had already scored a couple of hit songs when his background became public knowledge.
Davido maintained that the hatred from critics did not stop him from releasing his songs.
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.
