Despite coming from a wealthy family, with his father Deji Adeleke being a billionaire, Davido revealed that he faced significant financial struggles after rebelling against his father's wishes to pursue education instead of music.

He recounted a time when he was broke, contrasting his situation with that of his wealthy friends who lived in mansions in Ikoyi and had police escorts. This personal experience inspired his debut single, "Back When," where he rapped about being financially bankrupt and facing rejection.
