Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has stated that he is the most criticized celebrity in Nigeria, simply because of his wealthy background.

Davido explained that the “rich kid” stigma could have hindered his career if he hadn’t kept his background private at the start.

In a recent episode of the Culture Knock Out podcast, the OBO hitmaker shared that he had already released a few hit songs by the time his background became known.

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.

“People didn’t know my father was rich. It was too late, I already did three hit songs before they found out that my dad had money…

“But I just wanted to do music. I didn’t care if I had to become homeless. At that point, that was all I wanted to do. Nothing would stop me.
“Over time, people started hating me because my dad is rich. But I keep on dropping good music, and it keeps working out.

“It happens to everyone, once you become the biggest in anything, you will get criticised. You are doing an election, people love you and they vote for you. But when you become president, they hate you.”
