Davido has spoken about the important role his childhood friend, Lati, played in the early days of his music journey, saying he would not be where he is today without him.
During a livestream with content creator Carter Efe, the singer looked back on the years before fame and explained how Lati remained by his side after the death of his mother.
“Without Lati, there’s no Davido.
“Lati used to work for my mum. My mum passed, you know, Lati used to work for my mum. So when my mum passed, you know, Lati stayed around. And then when my mum passed, my step mum came, chased Lati away from the house,” he recalled.
“Even after leaving the family home, Davido said Lati continued to look out for him and found ways to support his passion for music.
“Lati would sneak me in his car, go to the studio… He used to do music and DJ. So then he would carry me to the studio”, he said.
Looking back on those moments, Davido made it clear that Lati’s support during those early years played a big part in the path that eventually led him to becoming one of Africa’s biggest music stars.
