Nigerian music superstar Davido’s billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, recently shared a lighthearted yet striking moment with his longtime friend, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, during a high-profile gathering of business moguls.
The elite event took place at Femi Otedola-inspired FirstBank’s grand 40-storey headquarters in Eko Atlantic, drew some of Nigeria’s most powerful figures, including Dele Momodu, James Ibori, and, of course, Dangote himself.
In a video shared by Dele Momodu, Adeleke was seen in conversation with Momodu, Ibori, and Dangote when he playfully fired shots at his fellow billionaire.
With an air of seniority, he reminded Dangote of their age gap, teasingly called him a small boy and emphasized that he remains his junior brother.
In his words:
“Do you know Dangote is my junior brother? Come, I’m older than you, you’re a small boy.”
