A musician and record producer by the name of Maleek Berry, who is of British and Nigerian descent, has disclosed an odd occurrence that occurred during the early stages of his career. Both British and Nigerian ancestry can be traced back to Berry. He recounts the story of how Davido, a Nigerian singer who is now famous, cleverly gave the idea that he was living in poverty when he was just beginning his career in the music industry. Davido is now a famous artist. His explanation of the method that he utilised to achieve this goal may be found in it.
In an interview that was broadcast on the podcast known as “90s Baby,” Maleek Berry discussed the time that he spent working with Davido when both of them were just beginning their careers as musicians. The discussion was conducted during the period that both of them were just beginning their careers. He shared some information regarding the time that they had spent together in the past.
He recalled that in the past, when they wished to collaborate on the recording of music, they would go to a studio in Bermondsey, which is located in the city of London. This studio was located in the region of Bermondsey. Following that, they would collaborate on the recording of their tunes.
Davido, despite coming from an affluent upbringing, was able to mix in well with the more modest way of life of his contemporaries, according to Maleek Berry, who made this observation while the two were working together in the studio. Maleek Berry was referring to the fact that Davido was able to come from a wealthy background.
With all of this information at her disposal, Maleek Berry arrived at the conclusion that Davido was born into a household that had fewer resources available to them. When Berry saw the mansion that Davido’s father held, on the other hand, this perception experienced a major alteration at that time.
The following are his own words:
When I was present on YouTube, Davido’s channel had only four thousand views. This was during the period that I was there. “Whenever he came to London, I would take him to a studio in Bermondsey and record him,” he recalled with a hint of melancholy. “I would give him a recording.”
Through the use of a variety of social media platforms, it was one of his cousins who was responsible for bringing us together. During that time period, the very fact that he existed was not even acknowledged. We were just two Nigerian guys who had a passion for music and finally established a connection with one another. My friend and I were both from Nigeria.
He adopted the attitude of one of those children who were suffering from their living circumstances while he was working for us. The scene that greeted me when I arrived at the cot that belonged to his father, on the other hand, was one that I had not anticipated seeing. It is a well-known truth that there is a considerable amount of money!
“I was just so taken aback because, at the time, my mind didn’t used to think like he [Davido] had money. My mind doesn’t normally operate like that. I was simply surprised by that, to put it simply. In addition, I have to admit that the concept surprised me. In the past, he would occasionally blend in with us and appear invisible. I thought to myself, “Okay, they must be wealthy,” as I passed by the skyscraper. “I suppose they are.”
Berry further disclosed that Davido was the individual who, at some point in the future, introduced him to Wizkid. This occurred some years later. Berry is the one who is providing this information.
