Meet Davido, Nigeria’s Hottest Pop Star

Davido was born on November 21, 1992, to Chief Deji and Vero Adeleke in Atlanta, Georgia. His father is a Nigerian business magnate and his late mother was a university lecturer.[13] He attended the British International School in Lagos. Davido studied Business Administration at Oakwood University prior to relocating to Nigeria.[12] Davido's interest in music started during his time at Oakwood University. He bought musical equipments and started making beats, in addition to recording vocal references.[14] He dropped out of Oakwood University when he started getting bad grades and relocated to London, where he focused more of his energy towards vocals as opposed to production.[14] When Davido returned to Nigeria in 2011, his music career was sidelined after he agreed to honor his father by enrolling at Babcock University. In July 2015, Davido earned a music degree from Babcock after his father paid the university to erect a music department for an inaugural class of one.
