“The inspiration for me has been my father, a Nigerian-American like me. He studied in the States. I studied there myself. I went to HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), a predominantly black college,’’ Davido stated.
According to him, his father worked as a manager at Burger King, a fast-food restaurant in the US before he became wealthy.
“My dad went to one as well. He used to work at Burger King. He was a manager at Burger King,” he added.
