Nigerian Afrobeats star, Davido, has revealed that he began life in a one-room apartment within a public housing compound, popularly known as face-me-I-face-you.

The singer shared this personal story in “CFMF,” a track off his fifth studio album, 5ive, released on Friday.
According to Davido, his rise to fame and wealth is a result of divine intervention.

“Take a step and walk into my life…
Started all the way from face me I face you
Face me I face you
And now, I am living real large, all thanks to Jesu
All thanks to Jesu oh,” he sings.

His claim has sparked widespread skepticism, particularly on social media, where many users questioned the narrative, citing Davido’s well-known background as the son of billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke.

This isn’t the first time the singer has attempted to craft a grass-to-grace storyline in his music. In his 2011 debut single Back When, Davido claimed that women ignored him when he was broke but began chasing him after he found fame and fortune. However, the song saw limited commercial success—partly because of public doubts about his claims of a modest upbringing, given his affluent family background.

Davido eventually embraced his elite status in his 2012 breakout hit Dami Duro, where he boldly declared himself unstoppable as the son of a wealthy man—a move that resonated more with fans and helped catapult him to national prominence.
