Speaking on the ’90s Baby’ podcast, Maleek Berry revealed that they connected through one of Davido’s cousins on social media, back when the DMW boss wasn’t yet famous.
He explained that during their time in the studio together, Davido gave the impression that he was poor, even though he came from a wealthy family.
Maleek Berry recalled being shocked when he eventually visited Davido’s father’s mansion because he didn’t knew that the singer had money.
He said, “I was there when Davido only have four thousand YouTube views. When he came to London, I would take him to studio in Bermondsey and record him.
“It was one of his cousins that connected us via social media. He wasn’t even known then. We were just two Nigerian guys that loved music that got connected.
“He acted around us like one of those poor kids. But when I pulled up to his dad’s crib, I was surprised. There’s money and there’s money!
“I was just so taken aback because at the time, my mind didn’t used to move like he [Davido] had money. He used to blend in with us. When I saw the tower, I was like, okay, they’re rich.”
Maleek Berry also revealed that years later, Davido was the one who introduced him to his rival, Wizkid.
