A video has surfaced online showing billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats superstar Davido, playfully referring to Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, as his “younger brother” and a “small boy.”
The clip captures the two business moguls at an event, enjoying a friendly conversation alongside their close associates. Their exchange took an amusing turn when Adeleke made the remark, prompting laughter among those present.
The video has sparked humorous reactions online, with many noting the stark contrast between how wealthy individuals joke versus how the less privileged might react to such comments:
- Ezeudo Foster: “Tell a poor man he’s a small boy, and you’ll see another side of him. Everything is wrong with a poor man. The way I fear poverty—God, please!”
- Ifeanyi Ezemari: “See how rich men joke and play as friends, but a poor man will be looking for who to bewitch with jealousy and bitterness.”
- Albert: “Rich people are just playing, but poor people want to involve themselves. Association of poor people in Nigeria, please mind your business!”
- Gloria Dokitsma: “That’s rich people talk—nothing concerns me.”
- Oketa Sunny: “Poor people fighting over rich people’s jokes.”
