Next thing, she stabbed me on my chest. I was trying to process the shock and then she tried to stab me again and I blocked it with my hand.

“I enjoy being the last born” – Davido says

Nigerian Afropop star, David Adeleke, known well as Davido has disclosed that he enjoys being the last born of his family.

Davido made this revelation during a recent interview with Jazzy’s World TV. According to him, being the last born made his other family members not take him seriously.

Davido mentioned that he was only given attention by the family when his music gained popularity. He however emphasized that he enjoys being the last born because his siblings always have his back when he gets into trouble.

Davido said;

“When I wanted to do music, imagine being the last born of the family. I’m like, yo I want to do music. I’m going to be a superstar one day.

Imagine trying to influence everybody in a family [where] you are the last born. Nobody took me serious. You feel me?

But as I got older, they looked and they saw that, yo he is really good in this. And then finally, they let me do what I want to do. But being the last born, I love it. If I had a challenge, my older siblings, they will be at my back for real.”
