Maleek Berry reveals shocking truth about Davido’s humble beginnings

British-Nigerian singer and record producer Maleek Berry shared a fascinating story about Davido’s early days in the music industry.

Maleek Berry revealed how the Nigerian superstar pretended to be poor despite his wealthy background.

Speaking on the ’90s Baby podcast, Maleek Berry recounted his experiences working with Davido when they were both upcoming artists. “I was there when Davido only had four thousand YouTube views. When he came to London, I would take him to a studio in Bermondsey and record him,” he said.

Also, Berry described how Davido seamlessly blended in with his peers, leading him to believe that he came from a less privileged family. “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.”

Additionally, Maleek Berry credited the DMW boss with connecting him to Wizkid years later. He highlighted the significant role Davido played in his career.

Meanwhile, the story offers a glimpse into the humble beginnings of one of Nigeria’s biggest music stars, despite his wealthy upbringing.
