I Forced Davido To Go Into Music – B-Red
B-Red, a Nigerian artist whose real name is Adebayo Adeleke, recently shared an interesting revelation about his cousin Davido. According to B-Red, Davido used to serve as a backup performer before pursuing his own music career.
In a recent episode of Quincy Jonze’s podcast, Echoo Room, B-Red disclosed that he played a significant role in inspiring Davido to venture into the music industry.
“I was the one who first told David, ‘Hey, you have so much talent, you should start singing,'” B-Red said. He further expressed his admiration for Davido’s skills and encouraged him to pursue a singing career.
B-Red also took the opportunity to acknowledge his cousin M-Pizzy, who is also a talented artist. He revealed that they initially focused on promoting M-Pizzy’s music but eventually recognized Davido’s potential as well.
“Shoutout to my cousin, M-Pizzy; he is still a good artist. We started pushing him first. One day, David was always doing backups, and I told him, ‘David, M-Pizzy is good, but you are also talented, start singing,'” B-Red shared. “David asked if I was serious, and I assured him that I was. That’s how he began his journey as a singer. So, credit goes to my cousin, M-Pizzy, for showing us the way. Shoutout to M-Pizzy too.”
Furthermore, B-Red revealed an interesting anecdote about their past. He explained how he and Davido managed to sell 20 televisions from their father’s house.
During the era of Mo’hits, B-Red and his brother, Sina Rambo, worked as personal assistants for Don Jazzy and D’banj, he disclosed.
