Davido
Award winning singer, Davido, recently covered the global issue of Fader Magazine, where he talks  about different sides to being a celebrity.
The feature titled“How Davido Became African Pop Music’s Fortunate Son”, highlights some very important facts about the 23 year-old singer.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
On Davido’s House
For the past three years, Davido, now 23, has lived in the posh Lagos neighborhood of Lekki, in a three-story house that welcomes a revolving cast of employees, friends, and hangers-on, with imported weed and liquor in constant supply and demand.
On a Friday afternoon in December, he’s sitting on a couch in the home’s top-floor lounge, telling his life story to an audience of a half-dozen people.
At Davido’s house, the walls are dominated by portraits of Davido. Most of the pieces, including a five-foot tall Old Masters-style painting, have been painted by fans, who camp outside for as many as three days, waiting for Davido to accept their offerings.
On His Family House
Davido’s childhood home is just a few minutes’ drive away. Inside, there’s a grand marble staircase, and family photos spanning several generations line the walls of multiple living rooms. (Davido’s godfather, it should be noted, is Aliko Dangote, a construction magnate whose estimated $18 billion net worth has earned him Forbes’ title of Africa’s richest man for the past three years.)
On Atlanta Police Raiding His Home, Paid for in Cash
“I guess a neighbor must have tried to snitch. They saw me and thought, ‘How did that African get here?’” he says. “How do I explain to someone who’s never heard of me that I’m famous? I showed them all of my videos on YouTube. They loved it.”

The Fame
For Davido, the result has been a kind of fame for which there are few parallels. When I land at Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos to report this story and discover I don’t have the necessary yellow fever vaccination document required for entry, I successfully drop his name, much to the delight of a middle-aged official who asks me to pass on a message. “God bless our son, Davido,” he says.
A couple of days later, Davido performs at the wedding reception of family friends in Lekki’s Lagos Oriental Hotel. His five-song set was offered to the newlyweds by a family member as an ostentatious gift, much like the brand-new Bentley on display elsewhere in the hotel’s ballroom. Afterwards, he attempts to snake out of the hotel through a makeshift exit, his oblong face streaked with sweat.
Dozens of young men crowd the wings of the ballroom, undeterred by the armed soldier who is a member of Davido’s everyday security detail. Waiters drop their serving trays for a chance to touch him. Bartenders and ushers abandon their posts. Palms are thrown to faces, temples, and the sky in disbelief. But the wilder the scrum grows, the calmer Davido seems; similar scenes manifest nearly anytime he appears in public, and he’s accustomed to the hysteria. “Sometimes they want money, sometimes they want photos, but sometimes I think they just want me to see them,” he tells me later.

psquare
The P-square music duo are still trending on social media and this time, it’s due to a messy drama at their Omole Phase 1, Lagos house this morning.
P-square’s house was allegedly stormed this morning and was placed under lock and key after they failed to show up at an event where they were billed to perform despite the fact that they were already paid an alleged sum of N8million by the client.
Inside sources revealed that the action was taken by the aggrieved client and P-square’s failure to honour the agreement is said to be related to the current misunderstanding between the group and their management.
Peter was said to have driven off angrily this morning as security operatives kept dispersing the crowd that gathered to watch the drama.
Before this morning’s drama, the group had allegedly been charged to court 3 times and did not honour it.
Jude Okoye has also removed all references to P-square-/Square records from his Twitter bio.

On getting there, the young man, Promise  and brother had just been picked up by officials of KAI (Kick Against Indiscipline) and transported to their office in Alausa, Ikeja.
Kcee and the crew went in search of him at the KAI office and after several hours of pleading, he was released into their custody after signing an undertaking that he will not hawk again.
