You wouldn’t believe that as influential and highly connected as his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke is, yet he (Davido) was the one that connected him to the World Bank President.
The singer made the shocking revelation recently in an interview with Real 92.3 FM, Atlanta.
He said; “Let me tell you something that was so beautiful. So, my dad he has been trying to… He has a lot of friends in high places. He has been trying to look for the President of the World Bank. He has been trying to get to the guy.”
“This is one of the most defining moments of my life. World Bank President sees me in a hotel and was like, ‘Davido, I enjoyed your performance. I’m the President of the World Bank’.”
“I said, ‘Oh! Hold on… brought out my phone… Hello, daddy, I have the President of the World Bank.’ He said, ‘Oh! Give him the phone.’ I connected the deal.”
