Life is all about the money”!
That’s a line fromDavido’s song “The Money” withOlamidebut if you’ve been listening to Davido’s songs from way when then you know that he doesn’t mind talking about how much money he has or the fact that his father is a billionaire.
Davido knows how to spend money but more importantly he knows how to make money. Everything he does is an investment – from his house in Atlanta to chunky gold chains!
Here are 3 things we learnt from his interview with Fader
One If you love Davido’s hit single featuring American rapperMeek Millas much as we do, then you should know that particular record along set the 23-year-old HKN Label CEO back $200,000.
Using today’s exchange rate (N400 to $1), that would be about N80,000,000. In 2015 it would have been less by a couple million but that’s still a staggering figure. Guess you have to spend money to make money.
That song got him a lot of international buzz and is one of his best singles out there.
Two In the same interview he also revealed that he averages $50,000 to $70,000 for private appearances on weekends and sometimes he has about 8 private shows a weekend.
$70,000 is N2 Million and multiplied by 8 that is some majorcha-ching!
According to him, this has started changing because of the new government and the fact that people don’t want to be seen as too lavish anymore but he still gets at least 2 private gigs every weekend.
Three Also in the interview he talked about his upcoming album tentatively called “Baddest”. Davido revealed that he has spent more than $1 Million of his personal money in getting the album ready. This will be Davido’s sophomore album and will featureFutureand other international artists.
The album will be released bySony Musicbut just take a moment to think of how much effort and money Davido has personally poured into this album. We can’t wait to hear it.
This is Pathetic…
It’s no longer getting funny. We’ve to beg God to please Intervene in this Terrible Situation of things and hope he listen to the cry of Nigerians in time.
This is the exchange rate of Dollar to Naira as of this night… This morning it was at N358 to $1.

Naij journalists in Ogun state have discovered a massive estate under construction in the state.
The wide land mass located in Oke Mosan area of Ogun, just some metres before the MKO Abiola Trade Fair Centre, is expansive and already has many road constructions in it.
The ‘President Muhammadu Buhari Estate’ is written with Nigeria’s national colours (green and white) and may have been constructed to herald the presence of the Nigerian president in the state a few weeks ago.
A closer look at the estate which houses very few detached buildings showed that work did not start there until a few months ago.
It is unknown, however, whether the estate was simply named after President Buhari as a mark of honour or if he is the one undertaking the project in the southwestern state of Ogun.
