He emphasized the importance of focus and urged his son to avoid unnecessary distractions that could derail his musical journey.
He said, “I told my son that he shouldn’t look or listen to whatever the boys who are supporters of Davido are saying. The supporters are only looking for what they will say to collect money and all of that.”

“They are just looking for what they are going to eat and I told him not to pay much attention to them,” he added.
