Nigerian Afrobeat superstar and Grammy Award nominee, Davido, has stirred major buzz after publicly revealing the massive fortune of his father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke.
According to Davido, his father’s wealth currently stands at over $7.9 billion, potentially placing him among the richest men in Africa.
However, unlike many billionaires who bask in attention, Adeleke chooses a life of quiet wealth and humility.
“Right now, my father is worth more than $7.9 billion, but you will never see him trying to seek attention from people because he has that much money,” Davido said, describing his dad as not just a father but also a mentor and business role model.
The singer added that although his father’s net worth might eclipse that of several well-known African billionaires, he remains deliberately discreet:
“Truth be told, my dad might be richer than most top billionaires in Africa, but he chooses silence. That’s a real African man — he doesn’t want to make others feel less of themselves.”
The revelation has since gone viral on social media, sparking heated comparisons between Adeleke and African business moguls such as Aliko Dangote, Abdul Samad Rabiu, and Nicky Oppenheimer.
