Adebayo Adeleke, aka B-Red, has said he does not envy his
cousin who is the CEO of Davido Music World, David Adeleke, famously called
Davido.
It will be recalled that the duo started their musical
career almost at the same time, but at the time Davido started enjoying the
spotlight, it has been a thing of struggle for B-Red to make a name for
himself.
Speaking in an interview, he revealed that he is happy about
his brother’s success, adding that it also rubs off on him.
“A record company
will always push one artiste before others and Davido was the first on the
list. He is my family member and I don’t hate him.
“I am happy he is successful and a big artiste in Africa
because his success rubs off on me too. It is normal for people to always
compare artistes, but it is left for you to ignore that. It is just music and
everyone can be at the top at the same time. I don’t care about what people
say; I just make music.
“I am not where I would love to be but I am in a better
place compared to where I was five years ago. I started music as Davido’s hype
man and I travelled around the world with him. That was how I built my career
and I started singing from there.”
According to him, when he wanted to give up music, Davido
encouraged him not to. He added, “Since I worked closely with Davido, I also
saw how Davido struggled when he first came into the industry. That gave me the
push too. When people were criticising my music, I didn’t argue with them; I
just kept working hard. Now, people show me love.”
