Actor Ibrahim Chatta Claims Davido Surpasses Billionaire Father in Wealth and Influence
Renowned Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked conversation by asserting that Afrobeats superstar Davido is wealthier and more influential than his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke.
Chatta made the remarks while advising young people to show respect to individuals in positions of authority, regardless of their age. Highlighting achievements over age, the actor pointed to historical figures like Alexander the Great, who accomplished monumental feats at a young age, surpassing many older leaders.
Drawing parallels, Chatta described Davido as an “elder” due to his accomplishments and fame, despite being younger than many in his sphere. He emphasized that success and influence, not just age, define one’s status as an elder.
“God purposely places certain people in positions of authority, and it’s not about their age,” Chatta said. “Any younger person who possesses the achievements of an elder is an elder.”
He further elaborated, “Davido’s father is a billionaire who has been doing great things long before Davido came into the picture. However, the singer’s wealth and influence surpass his father’s. If his father walks by, he might go unnoticed, but if Davido passes through, it could cause a stampede.”
Chatta also praised Davido’s massive following and the loyalty of his fans, describing the atmosphere around the singer as one of awe and devotion.
The actor’s comments have sparked widespread reactions, with fans and observers weighing in on the dynamics of success, fame, and generational achievements.
