A vintage video featuring Davido was posted on Instagram by talent manager Paulo Okoye, who talked about how hard he worked to advance Davido’s career in his early beginnings.
Paulo persevered and eventually got Davido a job after being turned down by a company six times.
He claimed that he wasn’t born with a “golden spoon,” attributing their achievement to hard work .
What they’re saying
“It’s all about hard work!! Respect!!! Then Davido features on one tune!!! Duro!! I battled for the job for him!! The corporation said no to me six times, and I persisted until they say yes. All is well!!!
He stated on Instagram,
“I wasn’t born with a golden spoon; it’s just hard work.”
Davido and his brother, Adewale Adeleke,agreed to Paulo’s statements in the comments section, with Davido stating “Facts” and Adewale recognising Paulo’s key involvement in Davido’s career, writing:
“Yep, our first endorsement, MTN, was done by you sir. You will always play an important role in David’s tale!”God bless you.
Final Thoughts
The timing of this revelation, coming amidst Paulo’s online feud with Very Dark Man, adds an interesting layer. It suggests a possible attempt to refocus public attention on his professional achievements and positive contributions rather than the controversy.
By sharing this story, Paulo not only reinforces his reputation as a key figure in the industry but also exemplifies the power of hard work and tenacity in overcoming obstacles.
