Who is Davido’s grandfather?
To discover the truth, let’s start from the basics. What is Davido’s full name and where is he from?
Davido’s full name is David Adedeji Adeleke. Obviously, his father’s name is Adedeji Adeleke from Yoruba land. He is a son to the chief, Adebayo Adeleke. Yes, the same Adebayo Adeleke who created the renowned Banana Island in Lagos. So, you can see that the talented musician came from a wealthy background.
Adebayo Adeleke and Banana Island
The chief had his plan mapped out. He wanted to turn Banana Island into the most expensive resort in Africa. He didn’t hesitate to share the blueprint of his plan with people that mattered but unfortunately, they didn’t share the same enthusiasm. As a result of their opposition, the Chief had to hire a foreign construction company to carry out his bidding.
In addition to this, the chief asked the engineer Minoru Yamasaki (the author of the Twin Towers in New York) to create copies of the towers for him. While his dream has not fully materialized, one can see that he has put in a lot of efforts. The Island is definitely a beautiful sight to behold.
