Davido isn’t just a talented singer, he is also very influential. Just before he shot to limelight, the singer had his own fair share of struggles and adversity.

While speaking in an interview with MTV Base, the hit maker noted that his dad wasn’t pleased with his chosen career path till he proved his mettle.

The ‘Fia’ crooner stated that he has the phone numbers of Presidents and when he calls them, they answer them.

“When I released the song ‘Back then’, I did not know that it was going to be that big. Then I went back to school and the love that I was shown was overwhelming, let alone the way girls began to treat me. That one song with the video made my father realise that I had the talent. And then, I did the song, ‘Dami Duro’.

“The song became so big and I remember that the President at the time called my father to talk about me and the song. Even during my father’s business meetings with his friends, they would mention my name and the song. Before long, I started travelling and doing shows around the world. Now I have the numbers of about 13 presidents on my phone and if I call them, they would answer the call. Then the award came and it set me on another level.”
