Afrobeats sensation Davido has shared a captivating story about his teenage years, revealing how he absconded from home to pursue his passion for music.

In a recent episode of the American podcast Bagfuel Brigade, Davido recounted how his love for music led him to secretly set up a studio in his father’s 16-bedroom mansion while his siblings were studying abroad.

According to Davido, after his mother passed away, he was left alone living with his father, billionaire Deji Adeleke.

The absence of his father and siblings from his daily life, fueled his passion for music and burned it stronger. He began to sneak into his studio, working on his craft in secret. However, as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult to hide his passion.

Speaking further, Davido said that he got tired of hiding his love for music and made the bold decision to flee to London to live with a producer friend. For six months, he immersed himself in the music scene, honing his skills and pursuing his dreams.

Meanwhile, back in Nigeria, his family launched a search for him, involving immigration officers, police, and other security agencies.

When Davido returned to Nigeria, he was singled out at the airport by an officer who led him to his father waiting outside. Davido was filled with anxiety and uncertainty, unsure of how his father would react. However, to his surprise, his father greeted him with a warm hug, excited to see him after such a long time.
