How Dangote influenced my financial habits - Davido

Davido, the Afrobeats star, says Aliko Dangote, the African richest man, always advises him to ensure he saves his money.

The influential figure in music talked at a recent Forbes Under 30 meeting in Botswana.

The 'OBO' singer said that the billionaire from Nigeria had impacted his spending patterns.

Davido stated that Dangote always urges him to "save your money" when they cross paths.

A "different kind of billionaire," according to him, Dangote "buys two cars every eight years," he added.

"Uncle Aliko is a whole unique breed of billionaire. Every eight years, he purchases two automobiles. He described the millionaire as being very disciplined.

Every time I visit him, he always says the same thing: "Save your money." He doesn't say anything else to me. He and my father, though, have been close friends since they were children. He has also performed admirably for us at home. He gave us several different industries. He handles everything. The cement factory he recently opened.

"Well, that's creating jobs, you know. Additionally, we have an electricity company as part of what we do. I believe that the powerful men in Nigeria try to provide.

The singer previously said that he frequently had "arguments" about his financial decisions with his father, Adedeji Adeleke.

With an estimated net worth of $20.5 billion, Dangote is Africa’s richest person, the world’s richest black person, and the world’s 83rd richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
