Davido how his Dad tried to make him focus on school

 "When my father refused to fund my career and said that he didn't want me to be a musician, I broke into his house in Atlanta, Sold all his 30 TVs, Sold all the furniture and almost sold his Rolls Royce but I didn't have the documents. My dad didn't care even if I won 20-GRAMMYs, he just wanted me to go to school." Davido

"I just wanted to act crazy until my dad lets me to do music. After I sold his stuff, I left for Nigeria but immediately I landed at the airport, an army of about 500 soldiers which was dispatched to catch me and take me to my father picked me up by trousers and brutally took me straight to my father. So my father asked, "Son! Where have you been?" And I was like I wanna do music, I don't want to go to school and you can't force me to go. Then he's like "Okay, let's have a deal since you really love music." And I said now you're talking business. So he said that he'll invest in my music career, he'll build me a world-class studio but I have to go to school. So we arranged that if I go to school from Monday to Friday, I'll stay in the weekend and go to the studio he built for me and do music. So I accepted to take the money he was giving me but I planned that I'll to school for like 2 months and if I shoot the video he was gonna pay for and blow up, I'll run away again. And as he promised me, he shot me like the most expensive music video in Nigeria at that and fortunately for me it blow up and that's how I kinda like got into the industry. So when I went back to school, my friend called me and he's like "Bro, your song is amazing." I was shocked and the one which touched me the most was when he said "All the girls are going crazy for your song." I was in school I was crazy like bro, then I started planning how to escape from my father and school again. So over time, I now dropped another song and this one scattered the whole of Nigeria. After this second song, I couldn't even go to class again like students were just distracted because I was famous. So that's when I rãn away again. So this time, imagine my dad seeing me on Billboards, headlining shows but he didn't know where I was. Anytime he saw a show with me included, he'll send the polîce, send the army. Infact if you were a Davido fan and you bought a ticket to my show, you'll be arrested. He did it like twice and then he started messing up my business because everybody was scared to book me, because if you book Davido, you'll be arrested. So I now Made a song called "Dami Duro". The song goes like "E Ba Dami Duro, Emi Omo Baba Olowo." In my dialect, this song means "You cannot stop me. I'm the son of a rich man but I must be a musician." So I dropped that song and it became a street anthem. It was the president of Nigeria's best song and ringtone. Even the police and army which my Dad sent to arrest me and bring me to him became fans. When he sent police to come and arrest me, they were like "We can't arrest Davido, he's super-talented." But after this, he discovered that I was already unstoppable

so we found a way for me to go back to school. My Dad doesn't care if you're as big as Joe Biden, if you're not educated, he will not respect you. So whether I eventually win over 20-GRAMMYs, my dad won't respect me if I didn't go to school. But I eventually got my degree before going into full-time music. I got my degree in 2015 and as from that time, there has been no turning back till date." Davido
