The millionaires are said to be frugal in spending and that is the tale of the father of Afrobeats star, Davido. A recent revelation from the star has it that his father sometimes queries his spending.

He further spoke on the part Adedeji Adeleke, his father played on his music career. He was speaking at the Forbes Under 30 summit in Botswana on Monday when he said those things.

He said his dad does get into “a lot of arguments” over the way he spends money. Davido said his father, who is a business mogul, usually advises him on investments and savings.

He added that Adedeji doesn’t like to see him spend extravagantly on materialistic things.

“It’s still business. Sometimes we get into a lot of arguments. You know, showbiz is different from a normal person’s life that is just doing business,” he said.

“Like for example, I might be in Italy and maybe he just sees a caption ‘Oh Davido buys this $300,000 watch’ He will be like ‘Why are you wasting money like that’? I will be like, Dad you won’t understand. We are using it to inspire people. But all in all, it is still business.

“He still calls me to make sure that I save here, invest there.

“For example, I wanted to rent a penthouse. He advised me, ‘You are wasting money by spending on that (rent). Buy it and use it when you are around.

“Little advice here and there.

“It took a while for him to really accept the music. But now he has fully accepted it.”
