“I recall when MTN, a telecommunications company, came and said they wanted to do an endorsement, but then he (dad) asked how much, and I said $20 million,” Davido recalled. I was 17. Nobody has ever seen that much cash.Wow, this is from Music, and it obviously comes from two songs. “Daddy, see, we can do this,” I say.
“He looking at it, he built me a studio and gave me some money to run my stuff and did my first album, and it came out really really successful.”
