Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, widely recognized by his stage name Davido, has revealed that his 2012 breakout track, Dami Duro, was once used as a ringtone by former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

According to Davido, his father, Deji Adeleke, who had initially disapproved of his choice to pursue a music career, eventually backed his decision after Dami Duro gained national recognition, including attention from the presidency.

In a recent interview on Power 105.1 FM, United States, Davido said, “My dad accepted my decision to do music after he heard my second single, ‘Dami Duro.’ The song blew up.

“Before then, my dad was using the police and army to stop my show and arrest show promoters, artists and everyone connected to any show I am billed to perform in. But when ‘Dami Duro’ became a huge success… I think it was the President’s ringtone. Someone told me. At that point, people started advising my dad to allow me do music.

“I went further and accepted to return to school. I said I didn’t have to run away, that I should have spoken to him. No way, I was younger then and he was unapproachable. I told him I was scared of him. Then I was a kid. Now, we are best friends, we talk about everything. He comes to all my shows. He is very involved in my business.”
