Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has revealed that his family members initially didn’t take him seriously when he ventured into music.

He disclosed this in a recent chat with Jazzy’s World TV.

He said one of the reasons they didn’t take him seriously was because he is the last born of the family.

The “Omo Baba Olowo” crooner said his family only started supporting him after he began making waves.

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.”
