The billionaire’s son and global music icon was captured making the declaration in a video shared by Cubana Chief Priest on Instagram.
The footage, which has since gone viral, shows Davido and his associate relaxing in what is rumored to be the singer’s new private jet.
“My type of wealth can’t be obtained through investment,” Davido said with a laugh, prompting a swift agreement from Cubana Chief Priest, who responded, “Yeah, no!” Davido then added, “It can only be obtained through God’s blessings.”
This statement has sparked debates online, with some social media users questioning the role of family inheritance and privilege, while others argue that hard work and divine grace are inseparable.
Davido, who hails from the influential Adeleke dynasty, has often been vocal about his financial status but also credits his music career for cementing his position as one of Africa’s wealthiest artists.
