Davido’s expensive garage with cars worth N202 million is a delight
David
"Davido" Adeleke's love affair with automobiles got off on a smooth
ride. His first car - after he gained fame in the music industry - came on the
heels of his first album, Omo Baba Olowo, in 2013.
In 2012, at
the age of 20, Davido was announced the winner of the Headies Next Rated
category to win a car prize. The prize
was later presented to him in 2013 - it was a red coloured Hyundai Sonata 2013.
Davido was
so happy with the automobile that he drove the car to every event just to prove
it was a proceed of his brilliant effort at hitting the music mainstream market
after the release of his debut album in 2012.
The
ownership of a 2013 edition Hyundai Sonata became the turning point for
Davido’s obsession with expensive cars.
The Hyundai
Sonata joined a Silver coloured Honda Accord 2012 edition car in his garage -
the car had been in his garage before he became famous.
After
flagging off his HKN records alongside his cousins, Davido’s fortunes - and car
collection - soon changed for the better.
As Davido’s
music career kicked off - amidst scandals - one thing that has remained as
important as his music to Davido is the cars.
Between 2013
and 2016, Davido acquired six different luxurious cars. The six cars would have
depleted wealthy men’s pocket to the tune of N100 million.
Before the
end of 2013, Davido had already acquired a Chevrolet Camaro GS valued at N6
million; a Audi Q7 valued at N12 million; a black Range Rover sport valued at
N16 million; and a Black Mercedez Benz G-Wagon acquired at a staggering N21
million after the release of his viral single, Skelewu. The acquisition of the
G-Wagon was announced on his Instagram account with the words: "E don dey
come oh!!!! #December2013 #Skelewu.
These cars
acquired by Davido in the spate of three years are a Porsche Panamera valued at
N28.8 million; and an Audi R8 - which he acquired for his 23rd birthday in 2015
- worth N23.4 million.
Between
January 2016 and June 2018, Davido’s career witnessed a major leap to win over
10 awards for his musical brilliance - one of which was the BET Awards for Best
International Act.
And this
leap was also witnessed in his choice of expensive cars befitting his garage.
Davido’s
garage welcomed three new choice automobiles. Currently, inside the luxurious
garage of Davido are three well-parked automobiles worth over N202 million.
The three exotic cars are a Range Rover
SVAutobiography 2017 valued at N62,088,390 ($171,990); a Mercedes-AMG GLS63
worth N45,134,025 ($125,025) and a Bentley continental GT 2017 worth N95 399
304 ($264,264).
The three
vehicles were purchased at different times by the music star while the third-
the Bentley Continental GT 2017 edition was purchased in February 2018 at the
Bentley office in Atlanta, Georgia - Davido’s state of birth.
On May 1,
2018, Davido broke the internet when he gifted his girlfriend, Chioma Avril
with a Porshe car valued at N45 million.
The vehicles
listed in this article are vehicles which the Davido had announced their
acquisitions on his social media accounts- Twitter and Instagram.
Other
vehicles seen in the convoy of Davido and which are touted to be owned by the
singer include a Mercedez Benz sedan AMG and Toyota Landcruiser.
