David's family are not among the richest in nigeria.

Pride goes before a fall. Even Solomon lost his riches because of pride.

Davido I repeat, u DONT need a private jet. Ur career will not last forever.

Rather invest your money in business ventures or human capital. Stop spending anyhow your fathers backup may not always be there forever. Be a man.
