He stressed that his father, a billionaire businessman, usually warns him against wasting on expensive wristwatches and other materialistic things.

Davido said: “Sometimes we get into a lot of arguments. You know, showbiz is different from a normal person’s life that is just doing business.

“Like for example, I might be in Italy and maybe he just sees a caption ‘Oh Davido buys this $300,000 watch’ He will be like ‘Why are you wasting money like that’? I will be like, Dad you won’t understand. We are using it to inspire people. But all in all, it is still business.

“He still calls me to make sure that I save here, invest there.

“For example, I wanted to rent a penthouse. He advised me, ‘You are wasting money by spending on that. Buy it and use it when you are around. Little advice here and there,” the famous singer stated.
