Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again sparked conversations about his immense wealth and influence, this time, thanks to his elder brother, Adewale Adeleke, popularly known as Chairman HKN, who claimed that the singer’s net worth surpasses ₦500 billion.
The revelation came after Adewale shared a family photo on X featuring himself, Davido, and their cousins B-Red and Sina Rambo, all dressed in stylish traditional attire at a recent event.
The image quickly caught the attention of fans, with one user, identified as @Abazz, commenting under the post:
“Over 500 billion naira in one picture.”
Reacting to the remark, Chairman HKN made a bold statement that instantly set social media abuzz. He wrote:
“David alone is worth more than 500 billion naira.”
The response immediately went viral, with fans and followers flooding the comment section to debate the jaw-dropping figure. While some agreed that Davido’s extensive music catalogue, global tours, brand endorsements, share in family business and thriving record label DMW (Davido Music Worldwide) easily justify the claim, others argued that the figure was likely an exaggeration.
Despite the online debates, Davido’s financial success remains undeniable. The Grammy-nominated singer has built an empire that extends far beyond music, including multimillion-naira real estate investments, luxury cars, fashion collaborations, and global endorsement deals with brands like PUMA and Martell Cognac.
Known for his philanthropy, Davido also continues to win hearts with his charitable gestures, from donating proceeds of his 2021 birthday fundraiser to orphanages across Nigeria to sponsoring students through university.
Chairman HKN’s claim adds to Davido’s growing reputation as one of Africa’s wealthiest and most influential entertainers, further cementing his status as a key figure in the global afrobeats movement.
As social media continues to buzz with discussions about his staggering net worth, one thing is certain, Davido’s impact on music, culture, and business remains unmatched, and his empire shows no signs of slowing down.
