Davido, the Afrobeats superstar, has stated that his family members did not take him seriously when he first started out in music.
During a recent interview with Jazzy’s World TV, the singer revealed this.
He explained that being the last child in the family was one of the reasons he was not taken seriously.
The DMW boss stated that he was only recognized and accepted after his music gained popularity.
He does, however, enjoy being the last born because his siblings always have his back when he gets into trouble.
Davido said:
When I wanted to do music, imagine being the last born of the family. I’m like, yo I want to do music. I’m going to be a superstar one day.
Imagine trying to influence everybody in a family [where] you are the last born. Nobody took me serious. You feel me?
But as I got older, they looked and they saw that, yo he is really good in this. And then finally, they let me do what I want to do. But being the last born, I love it. If I had a challenge, my older siblings, they will be at my back for real.
