According to him, his dad had to strike a deal with him that if he(Davido) attended lectures from Mondays to Fridays, he would build him a world-class studio and provide funds to shoot music videos on weekends.

He said, "My dad is just big on education. The first place I went, after I had run from home, was London. From there I came back to Nigeria and my dad wanted me to go to school ask so I was like ‘What is in it for me?’.


“He (my dad) said if I go to school, he has a land not far; he will build me a studio. But I should go to school from Mondays to Fridays and on weekends, work in the studio. It was a world-class studio. He will give me money to shoot some videos.”
