A newly surfaced video has captured a rare and lighthearted moment between two of Nigeria’s most influential businessmen—Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats superstar Davido, and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.
In the clip, both moguls can be seen engaging in a friendly conversation at an event, exchanging warm pleasantries with their close associates. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when Adeleke jokingly referred to Dangote as his “younger brother” and a “small boy.”
Interestingly, according to research by Gistreel, Adeleke is indeed older than Dangote—though only by a month. He was born on March 6, 1957, while Dangote was born on April 10, 1957.
