Peruzzi recounted how hard it was for him to believe that his distant
cousin Chioma was dating Davido, as he talked about how his
relationship with the DMW boss began.
According to the Peruzzi, he first got news of Chioma dating Davido
after his mother’s burial which was also when he noticed that Davido was
always supporting his songs and brand on his social media platform.
He said, “After my mother’s burial; I was going home and someone sent
me a message on Twitter, commending my song. The person asked if I
remembered her. After she explained who she was, I remembered her. She
told me Davido sent my song to her. I didn’t believe it. She further
told me that they were dating and she is like my distant cousin, so I
didn’t even see it coming.“I felt like how can she be dating Davido and I wouldn’t know since.
She was able to convince me after she sent me some pictures; she told me
he was going to be around the next day. She invited me to his welcome
party and I went there around 2 am at Club 57.“Once Davido entered with his entourage, I was scared. He was facing
me, but I didn’t know what to do. I moved to see him carefully. He
looked at me and called my name. I was happy and I held him. He told me
he loved my songs and that I should come to his house. That was the best
night of my life. I sent Chioma a text; that I was with him.“I couldn’t sleep that night because I was too excited. She (Chioma)
is my mother’s cousin’s daughter. But she is my cousin; that is how we
refer to each other. I don’t have a proper contract with Davido; he is
my guy so I am not worried about that. Some people have lived with him
for years without any contract.”
On how he felt after he was insulted for wearing Davido’s clothes, Peruzzi told Saturday Beats;
“How would you see something you like and you can’t tell your male
friend that you like it? I told him I liked an outfit and he gave it to
me. I have come to realise that no matter what I do, people would talk. I
don’t let it get to me.”
He also talked about selling his car to buy some drugs for his ailing
mother before she died, and completing his degree in medicine and
surgery;
“When we realised my mother was diagnosed with cancer; I had to put
my car on auction immediately. I wanted to quickly send money to people
to help me get the drugs she needed. I could only get the drugs from
India but they still didn’t work. I still see myself going back to
complete my degree in medicine and surgery but I don’t see myself
sitting in the hospital.”
