Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, has revealed that his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke bribed him to go back to university when he was young.<\/p>\n

The OBO crooner made this known in a recent interview where he revealed that he left school and ran away from home to pursue a career in music.<\/p>\n

However, he was eventually forced to return to complete his education after his father made him a juicy deal, Davido said.<\/p>\n

The deal entailed that if Davido attended school from Mondays to Fridays, his father would build him a studio and provide him with money to shoot music videos on weekends.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad is just big on education. The first place I came to when I ran from home was London. From there I came back to Nigeria and my dad wanted me to go to school ask so I was like \u2018What is in it for me?\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said if I go to school, he has a plot of land not far; he will build me a studio. But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio during the weekend. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos,\u201d Davido said.<\/p>\n
