The singer disclosed this while speaking about his biggest inspiration during a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk, a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music in Washington.
Davido said: “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 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, a predominantly black college,
“My dad went to one as well. He used to work at Burger King. He was a manager at Burger King.”
