Davido has revealed that his 2012 breakout hit, “Dami Duro,” was the defining moment that changed the course of his music career
In an interview on Power 105.1 FM in the United States, Davido shared that the song’s massive popularity caught the attention of Nigeria’s then-President, Goodluck Jonathan, and his own father, Deji Adeleke, who had previously opposed his music ambitions.
According to Davido, his father had even deployed the police and military in attempts to shut down his early shows.
“Before then, my dad was using the police and army to stop my show and arrest show promoters, artists and everyone connected to any show I am billed to perform in. But when ‘Dami Duro’ became a huge success… I think it was the President’s ringtone. Someone told me. At that point, people started advising my dad to allow me do music.
