Popular singer, Davido, has spoken about how he brought British-Nigerian producer, Maleek Berry, and Wizkid together after running from home to London.

Okunola Abdul Maleek Anu-Oluwapo Shoyebi, professionally known as Maleek Berry, is a British-Nigerian record producer and recording artist. After his break into the spotlight in 2012, he was nominated as “Music Producer of the Year” at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment.

Davido claimed that he fled from his father’s home in Nigeria to the United Kingdom, where he made friends with Maleek.

“The first place I went to when I ran from home was London. London is like a second home for me,” he said in an interview with the +44 podcast show.

“I am the first to know Maleek Berry, I introduced Maleek Berry to Wizkid. From there, I came back to Nigeria.”
