Davido: The Greatest Afrobeats Sensation After Fela family.part five

While Olamide is officially credited with discovering and signing Adekunle Gold to YBNL, the artist has publicly acknowledged that Davido played a critical role in changing his mindset toward wealth and success. 

The specific "confession" you are referring to is actually a famous story shared by Olamide himself, rather than Adekunle Gold. Olamide recounted that his first experience of true luxury came through Davido: 

The Rolls Royce Experience: Olamide revealed that the first time he ever sat in a Rolls Royce was during the 2015 video shoot for their hit collaboration, "The Money".

Davido's Support: Olamide shared that Davido flew him and his entire crew to the United States for the shoot. He described this gesture as a turning point that "reshaped his hunger for success," showing him that billionaire-level wealth was attainable.

Adekunle Gold and Davido: While Adekunle Gold was part of the YBNL crew during this era, he has his own history of collaboration and mutual respect with Davido. In 2021, they released the hit single "High," and in late 2025, they collaborated again on the track "Only God Can Save Me" from Adekunle Gold’s FUJI album. 

In summary, Adekunle Gold is a product of Olamide's label structure, but Olamide himself is the one who famously confessed that Davido aided his personal mindset shift by giving him his first taste of the "Rolls Royce lifestyle".
