Maleek Berry Reflects on Early Encounter with Davido
Nigerian music producer and singer, Maleek Berry, recently shared an intriguing story about his early interactions with fellow artist Davido during his appearance on the popular podcast, '90s Baby.'
During the discussion, Maleek Berry recounted how Davido, despite his affluent background, pretended to be financially struggling while they were both working in the same studio. This surprising revelation highlighted the lengths some artists go to in order to connect with their audience.
Berry expressed his astonishment upon visiting Davido's father’s luxurious mansion, which led him to realize that the DMW boss truly came from a privileged upbringing. This encounter was a pivotal moment for Maleek Berry, as it opened his eyes to the reality behind Davido's public persona.
The candid conversation not only sheds light on the dynamics of the music industry but also reveals the complexities of artists' lives and the images they project. Maleek Berry’s story serves as a reminder that appearances can often be deceiving in the world of entertainment.
In his words:
- “I was there when Davido only had four thousand YouTube views. When he came to London, I would take him to studio in Bermondsey and record him.”
- “It was one of his cousins that connected us via social media. He wasn’t even known then. We were just two Nigerian guys that loved music that got connected.
- “He acted around us like one of those poor kids. But when I pulled up to his dad’s crib, I was surprised. There’s money and there’s money!
- “I was just so taken aback because at the time, my mind didn’t used to move like he [Davido] had money. He used to blend in with us. When I saw the tower, I was like, okay, they’re rich.”
