 Singer David Adeleke ‘Davido’ has celebrated his billionaire businessman father Adedeji Adeleke on his 68th birthday on Thursday, March 6.

Taking to his official Instagram account, the 32-year-old Grammy award nominee shared a heartfelt message, expressing gratitude over his father’s unwavering love and support. Davido shared a photo of his dad with the caption:

“Happy birthday daddy. An angel in human form. Thank you for everything sir. I love you and I’ll continue to make you proud.”

Also celebrating Deji Adeleke’s birthday, Davido’s uncle and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke prayed for good health, long life and expanded prosperity for his brother.

The governor in a personally signed felicitation message described his older brother as:

“…an angel in human shape, a deeply kind hearted destiny helper and an unassuming sponsor and supporter of innumerable souls irrespective of tribes and religion.

“As my senior brother, you symbolise divine blessings from angel-like figure who cares, supports, nurtures and uplifts your siblings, your extended family, your town, your state and your dear country. You stand for purity, philanthropy and exceptional dedication to the growth and advancement of humanity.

“In your private and public life, your humility is contagious, your honesty is unrivaled and your wisdom is exceptionally indescribable. On a daily basis, we drink from your wealth of experience as our guide and our benefactor.

“As you add another year, I, Governor Ademola Adeleke, on behalf of the government and people of Osun state pray to Almighty God to answer all your secret prayers, to protect you and all your loved ones, to further enhance your coast and strengthen your divine shield.

“Aseyi samodun, my dear brother. I pray the grace of God and His eternal blessings abound by you all the days of your lives.

“Happy blessed birthday.”

Adeleke, a billionaire businessman and philanthropist, has played a significant role in his son’s career.

One of such key moments is when the ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ crooner revealed in January that he signed a deal with Black Diamond in 2011 but his dad bought him out of the recording deal after he played him a snippet of his hit song ‘Dami Duro’ video.

According to him, his dad bought him out of the deal because he wanted him to own the masters of music.

He disclosed this after his former record label boss, Tosin Ashafa, shared how he gave Davido his first professional deal and how his billionaire dad reacted to it.
