Popular African musician and Nigerian
superstar, Davido has finally revealed what made his dad threaten to
arrest D'banj and Don Jazzy.
Nigerian singer, Davido has finally
revealed why his dad, Deji Adeleke threatened to arrest D'banj and Don
Jazzy over a controversy. He made the revelation in an interview with
Ebro Darden of Hot 97 in New York, days after his performance at One
Africa Music Fest.
"I was hanging out with D’banj at
the time, he had that Kanye deal. I now told my Dad that I was trying to
stay, and he was like ‘What? My friend you better go back to school," he recalled.
"I called my roommate, and told him ‘Imma do this no more. If my Dad calls, tell him you don’t know where I’m at.
"When I left, my family was looking
for me for like six months. They sent a letter to D’banj house, they
sent a letter to Psquare house, they sent letters to everybody’s house.
My Dad was calling the school, and they were telling him; ‘He wasn’t
even here for the past semester, he left..’
"It was like the whole Nigeria knew
who I was before I even dropped a single. Kamal that is my manager now,
used to be Don Jazzy’s assistant. My Dad started calling him and said
‘if I see you guys with my son, all of you are getting arrested."
He said it was because his dad thought
he had gone missing and he didn't like his association with the
musicians as he wanted him to finish school first before any other
thing, made him threaten to arrest them.
He also revealed that he has three songs in the works with American rapper Young Thug, while also defining his genre of music.
"I don’t even call my music
Afrobeat, I call mine Afrofusion. To me it’s just too different. I can’t
tell you it’s Afrobeat, because it’s not.
"You know the originator of the
Afrobeat is Fela. Fela has a sound which I can say has heavy baseline,
brass instrument, [and] the percussion is different. If you ask me
‘Gobe’ is Calypso, Afro mixed with Calypso. But I feel like the Afrobeat
is catchy and has caught the wave since time. Because I know some
Afrobeat songs that I don’t want to call Afrobeat. I call them Afro-Pop
or I call Afro Trap. Everything is just still African music," he said.
