[VIDEO] Davido’s Sister Details Role as Chief Financial Officer

  • Financial leadership: Sharon Ademefun serves as the Chief Financial Officer for her brother Davido’s record label, managing his career and finances since its inception.
  • Sibling friction: Their close personal bond frequently leads to heated arguments, primarily driven by her pushback against his extravagant purchases.
  • Strict accountability: The duo holds mandatory weekly financial meetings in Lagos to review outgoing funds and curb spending on luxury vehicles and jewelry.

Sharon Ademefun, the elder sister of Nigerian music star Davido, has opened up about her close relationship with the singer and her hands-on role in overseeing his finances.

She has been involved in Davido’s career since its inception and currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of his record label.

Navigating Family and Business

Speaking on an upcoming episode of The Morayo Show, Sharon described their dynamic as deeply personal yet strictly professional when necessary. She noted that she is uniquely positioned to tell him hard truths others avoid.

“I’ve always taken care of David. He’s always been my baby,” Sharon said. She explained that their close professional association often triggers arguments, particularly regarding his heavy spending habits.

“The problem is that me and David; we are always fighting. The one that other people can’t tell him, me, I’ll tell him,” she stated.

Managing Luxury Expenditures

Jewellery and luxury vehicles form the core of Sharon’s financial pushback against the award-winning artist. She regularly challenges his acquisitions of high-end cars.

To keep spending transparent, the pair hold weekly financial meetings in Lagos to review outgoing funds and maintain awareness of his overall fiscal standing.

What prompted Sharon Ademefun to regularly confront Davido about his finances?

Sharon Ademefun confronts Davido weekly over excessive luxury spending on jewelry and high-end vehicles. As the record label’s Chief Financial Officer, she conducts mandatory budget meetings in Lagos to ensure the Nigerian music star remains fully aware of his cash flow and overall financial position.

“If me and him sit down, we always have finance meeting every week because I think it’s important for him to know how his money is being spent. I always say, David, please, no more cars,” she concluded ahead of the broadcast scheduled for later this week.

Sharon Ademefun is widely recognized not just as the older sister of global Afrobeats superstar Davido, but as the rigorous business mastermind holding his financial portfolio together. Born into the prominent Adeleke family, she quietly built her own entrepreneurial path far away from the flashing lights of the red carpet. While her brother dominated charts with global anthems, Sharon focused her energy on balance sheets, corporate structures, and multi-currency investments.

Long before formally stepping into her role as the Chief Financial Officer for Davido Music Worldwide and Rona Investments, she cultivated a deep background in corporate management and logistics. She graduated with a degree in management from a UK university and immediately applied those skills to stabilizing family ventures. Her sharp financial oversight transformed chaotic tour revenues into a structured corporate enterprise by 2018.

Expanding the Adeleke Business Empire

Beyond managing music royalties and brand endorsements for her famous brother, Sharon established herself as a versatile entrepreneur in Lagos, Nigeria. She founded Rona Wigs Studio, a high-end hair styling and luxury brand that quickly gained a massive celebrity clientele across West Africa. This venture proved her capability to operate entirely independently of the Davido brand machinery.

Her leadership style relies on strict accountability and long-term asset protection, shielding creative talent from the pitfalls of sudden wealth. By the end of 2020, she successfully restructured the operational framework for multiple Adeleke family enterprises, cementing her legacy as a pillar of Nigerian entertainment finance.
