Grammy-nominated singer, Davido, has shared a nostalgic story about his early days in the music industry, revealing that he used to run errands for prominent artists, Don Jazzy and D’Banj.

In a viral video, Davido recounted how he would drive his father’s luxurious Rolls-Royce to buy McDonald’s for the duo while freestyling for them in Atlanta around 2007-2009.

“In Atlanta, 2007 or 2008 or 2009… In my father’s house, I was freestyling for Don Jazzy and D’Banj. He sent me to go and buy McDonald’s with my papa car — Rolls Royce,” he said.

This anecdote highlights Davido’s humble beginnings and his journey to becoming one of Africa’s most successful musicians. (The Nation)
