Davido may be one of Africa’s biggest act at the moment but he had a humble beginning in the industry.
D’banj, another great Nigerian artiste has disclosed how he signed the IF hitmaker with a just Rolex wristwatch as a signing-on fee back in 2014.
He said:
“I remember in 2014 when I went back to Nigeria. Some young guy who used to work for me brought an artist to me and said he wanted me to sign him and I signed the artist. I remember we gave the artist a Rolex watch as a signing-on fee. I signed the artist and I got a call later on that the parents of the artist wanted to meet with me. So I went and I saw the parents and they said please I want my boy to go to school.
I know you have signed him but I really want him to go to school. So I said okay, let him go to school because that is what you want and then after that, he can come back. The boy I am talking about is one of the biggest artist coming in from this new generation which is Davido.”
