Sharon Adeleke, sister of Afrobeats star Davido, claims that the artist introduced luxury and an extravagant lifestyle to the Nigerian music industry.

She made the statement at the singer’s Apple Radio live takeover with family and friends to commemorate his 15th anniversary in the music industry.

“I think that David is one of the people that started all this being flashy and showing off and making it cool, in Nigeria,” she said.

Davido inferred: “When we came to Nigeria, Mo’Hits did it with like having a crew, but you see how in America, every successful musician has a crew, his guys and all that.”

Sharon insisted, “You brought that. Nobody used to do that.”

Davido has repeatedly claimed to being inspired by the now-defunct Mo’Hits, which was led by Don Jazzy and D’banj.

In prior interviews, he described how the Mo’Hits crew motivated him to pursue music and how he spent time in their mansion after fleeing his home after disobeying his father’s orders not to pursue music.
