The Assurance singer started his schooling at the British International School in Nigeria before moving to Oakwood University in the United States for tertiary education. However, he dropped out after some years to face his music career squarely.
Davido's career
The musician's love for music must have been from his music-loving late mother, Veronica. Although he was still an undergraduate, he started putting in some effort in the studio. In 2011, he released a single track titled Back When and featured Nigerian rapper Naeto C.
His first album Omo Baba Olowo, which roughly translates into "Child of a wealthy man" in English, was recorded between 2011 and 2012. The album had songs like Dami Duro, Ekuro, All of You, and Overseas.
He has released several award-winning albums and EPs since then, and some of them include:
- Son of Mercy
- The Baddest
- A Good Time
- A Better Time
Davido's new song
Davido has been featuring in other artists' songs since he dropped his A Better Time album. However, one of his most prominent features has been the remix of South African musician, Focaliatic single, titled Ke Star.
Davido's latest song features the South African artist in the single titled Champion Sound. As expected, the song is already doing numbers on various streaming platforms.
Personal life
The music star is not married yet, but his position as one of the most chased-after bachelors is undisputed. Davido's baby mamas exploits are proof of this claim. Although unmarried, the music star has at least three children from three different women. Davido's children are;
- Aurora Imade, whose mother is Sophia Momodu
- Hayley Veronica Adeleke, whose mother is Amanda 2017
- Ifeanyi Adeleke, whose mother is Chioma Avril Rowland
Rumours have it that the Blow My Mind singer has some mind-blowing paternal secrets. According to sources, he has another child, Mitchell, from another woman known as Ayotomide Labinjo. However, the singer denied these claims, and the result returned negative when a paternity test was conducted at both parties' insistence.

However, the lady is adamant and has accused Davido of bribing the doctor. The whole issue is in the past, although these sources claimed that it was after Davido paid off the lady "out of pity."
How much is Davido worth?
According to sources, Davido's net worth is an estimated $10 million, making him one of the richest in Nigeria and Africa. The majority of this massive bank account is from his successful career in the music industry. His record sales and streams are usually off the chart.
He also has several endorsements with big brands such as MTN, Guinness, Infinix, Martell, Pepsi, Wema Bank, and 1xBet. He is also a director in his father's energy company.
It may be tempting to think that Davido's net worth results from his family's financial background (his father's net worth is more than $800 million), but there is nothing further from the truth. Instead, the singer and songwriter has put a lot of work into the craft he loves.
