Why Davido is Unarguably the most hardworking and evolved Nigerian artist

David  Adedeji   Adeleke . We can all agree he needs no further introduction, yeah? Well ,  let me add he’s 2 7,  a song writer, produce r , music tycoon and philanthropist. OBO as he’s preferably called, which is an acronym for  Omo  Baba  Olowo   and  mea ns  the son of a wealthy man. His career is as good as it can get for a Nigerian /African  artist.   I wrote this article back in 2017 and so much has happened in the last three years I needed to update it. With the current winning streak for  Davido , a person might have to be updating on a monthly basis.     Davido  made a dive into the Nigerian music industry back in 2011 with “back when” featuring  Naeto  C.  It was his  first official single on HKN label which is  Co owned  by his brother  Adewale   Adeleke . Even though  ‘ Back when ’  received massive airplay on our radio and TV channels, it  didn’t really  do the job of driving  Davido  into our hearts and it was just one of those regular songs we come across  everyday .
