Afrobeats singer and producer, Maleek Berry has recounted his encounter with his colleague, Davido, during their days as up-coming artists.
Featuring on the ’90s Baby’ podcast, the ‘Kontrol’ crooner said Davido pretended to be poor while they were working in the same studio despite coming from a wealthy background.
He said he was surprised when he visited Davido’s father’s mansion.
“I was there when Davido only have four thousand YouTube views. When he came to London, I would take him to studio in Bermondsey and record him,” he recalled.
“It was one of his cousins that connected us via social media. He wasn’t even known then. We were just two Nigerian guys that loved music that got connected.
“He acted around us like one of those poor kids. But when I pulled up to his dad’s crib, I was surprised. There’s money and there’s money!
“I was just so taken aback because at the time, my mind didn’t used to move like he [Davido] had money. He used to blend in with us. When I saw the tower, I was like, okay, they’re rich.”
Berry also revealed that Davido was the one who connected him to Wizkid years later.
