Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke aka Davido has revealed that he used to skip school to perform in Ibadan.
 
He made the revelation in a post on his X page while reflecting on his music career.
 
The singer narrated how, in 2011, he left Babcock University without permission to perform in Ibadan during the Lynxxx and Friends Tour.
 
“In 2011 I skipped school to perform in Ibadan. Asa, Peju, B Red and Sina picked me up from Babcock and we drove to join the Lynxxx and Friends Tour,” he wrote. “I had no idea it was going to air on Soundcity, and when my pops saw it, I got in so much trouble.”
 
The multi-award-winning artiste described his recent return to Ibadan 14 years later for his 5ive Alive Tour as a “full-circle moment,” expressing pride in how far he has come.

“Fourteen years later, we destroyed the stadium. The 5ive Alive run across Nigeria has been one for the books,” Davido stated.
