In a recent interview, the father of twins discussed how Don Jazzy and D’banj motivated him to pursue music.

Davido shared that in 2008, when he was only 14, he picked up Don Jazzy and D’banj from the airport in Atlanta. They were there for a show and had plans with Kanye West, which excited him a lot.
