Veteran Nollywood actor and President of St. Finbarrs Old Boys Association, Patric Doyle, has stated that Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, known popularly as Davido, is the least arrogant of his peers, even when he has the credentials to be the most arrogant, given the aristocracy of his antecedents compared to his street-raised peers.

Doyle, who took to Facebook to speak on Adeleke, said he noticed a young man who, of late, has been on the receiving end of aspersions from his peers.

He said, “I have also noticed his attitude towards them and the relentless attacks. For the most part, he has maintained a calm disposition and a reluctance to engage his adversaries. I find this commendable, and I imagine it is an inherited trait from his father who, though a business mogul, is possibly the most self-effacing billionaire around.

“The young man, on the other hand, appears to be flashy and brash at first look. However, showbusiness, his vocation, demands he be that way.

“That said, he is perhaps the least arrogant of his peers, even when he has the credentials to be the most arrogant, given the aristocracy of his antecedents compared to his street-raised peers.

“On a few occasions, when he has erred and been corrected by elders, he has humbly redirected his steps and never once retorted rudely to correction. In short, he has displayed all the traits of a true ‘Omoluabi’ in this regard.

“As for the unwarranted abuse from his peers, it appears that the more they attack him and he ignores them, the more his stature as a global star shines.

“Truly, the Awolowo ‘Eebudola’ concept is working in the life of young David Adeleke, the Eebudola of the entertainment industry.”
