Ibrahim Chatta Says Davido Is Richer and More Influential Than His Billionaire Father
Popular Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked conversation by stating that singer Davido is not only richer but also more influential than his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke.
Chatta shared this perspective while advising young people to respect those in positions of authority, regardless of their age. He emphasized that respect should be based on achievements and influence, not just seniority.
Drawing a historical analogy, he referenced Alexander the Great, who began ruling at 20 and achieved extraordinary feats before his death at 33. Despite his age, Alexander commanded the respect of leaders who were older and more experienced, proving that greatness isn’t tied to years lived.
He likened this to Davido’s situation, highlighting that although the singer is younger, his accomplishments, fame, and influence have earned him the status of an elder in society. Chatta further argued that an elder is someone whose achievements set them apart, regardless of age.
Discussing Davido’s immense popularity, the actor recalled being amazed by the large number of people willing to go to great lengths just to be in the singer’s presence. According to Chatta, this kind of influence surpasses even that of Davido’s father, Adedeji Adeleke, a respected billionaire businessman and philanthropist.
He noted that while Adedeji Adeleke’s wealth and accomplishments are significant, Davido’s fame and impact on people’s lives make him stand out even more. “If his father walked past, you might not recognize him,” Chatta said. “But if Davido walked by, chaos would erupt from the excitement.”
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
