I Built My Brand Hyping My Cousin Davido For Four Years - B-red

Cousin to multiple award-winning artiste, Davido, Bayo Adeleke, aka B-Red, who is currently signed on with music label, HKN, is faced with the daunting task of blowing as many music lovers have refused to acknowledge his talent notwithstanding his average popularity in the industry, .
Many have vilified the heavily-tattooed musician as they claim to be disappointed that his music career has not assumed a different dimension in spite of Davido and HKN’s influence. The artiste however seems unperturbed, says he is happy where he is.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, down-to-earth and forthright B-Red, said he is happy at the pace of his growth.“Knowing that God has a plan for everybody, I am comfortable with the unhurried pace. There was a time I didn’t have a car or a Rolex, but look at me now. Every year, I grow and I will get bigger, so I am not in a rush. I am okay and content,” he stated.
B-Red who has also been accused of living under Davido’s shadow said there is no shame in leveraging on the star power of his cousin.
He said, “In every group, you have a leader and I do not care about being number one as long as I am doing good, getting money and doing shows. Davido is number one and we follow but you never know, probably I’ll be as big as he is. If your cousin is a star, won’t you want to be a star too? I built my brand by hyping my cousin for four years and look at where I am now.”
B-Red who is busy promoting his new EP released under HKN titled, All The Way Up, also debunked leaving HKN.
While refiting the gossips, he confirmed he would be doing a collaboration with Maryokun, whom many insinuated that he is envious of.
“There is no beef between me and Maryokun, we are hitting the studio soon and doing something together, I didn’t leave HKN and I am not leaving HKN. I even have the HKN tattooed on my body. My contract is very long. HKN is family and I am not leaving,” he maintained.
