He went further by throwing out an open challenge, asking his audience to name anyone who comes close.
“Not to brag, but which other billionaire’s child do you know in the world? I am not talking about Africa that has made a name for himself and also made a lot of money? You can’t make one apart from me,” he said.
Davido on Fame, Money and Normalcy
Beyond the bravado, the father of six also reflected on his complicated relationship with wealth and celebrity. Having grown up surrounded by luxury, he said material things no longer hold much appeal for him.
“I’ve been seeing money since I was a baby, so all these things don’t really excite me,” he admitted.
He went on to express a longing for a more grounded existence, describing how he sometimes craves the freedom to hop into a Toyota and head out in public without the weight of fame following him everywhere.
He also acknowledged that his family has been a stabilising force through some of the most difficult chapters of his life, including personal losses and public controversies.

“Came back to this video again to say this Davido guy is a proper clown. If he had said Africa, I’d have had little problem. But this f0ol said the world. Taylor swift, Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande. Bro, Dey pity yourself na. Is embarrassing yourself a kiink?”
@MzTaiwoO quipped:
“Temi Otedola suppose wos am.”
@ayoalapafuja observed:
“Omo the guy believes say na about social media Dey take know person. Not everyone disagreed with the singer, though.
@dukeemil1 offered more:
“People have a problem with comprehension. He meant no billionaire’s child has a huge stand alone brand like him. This is very true. Davido is more famous as a stand alone brand than even his father, and other billionaire children.”
