Davido, the Afrobeats superstar, has stated that when he first started out in music, his family members did not take him seriously.
The singer revealed this in a recent interview with Jazzy’s World TV.
He explained that one of the reasons he was not taken seriously was because he was the last child in the family.
According to the DMW boss, he was only recognized and accepted after his music became popular.
He does, however, enjoy being the last born because his siblings are always there for him when he gets into mischief.
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.
