A resurfaced clip of billionaire businessman Dr Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has set social media alight after showing him bowing repeatedly while greeting Eleganza Group founder and fellow billionaire Rasak Okoya at what appeared to be a gathering of prominent personalities.
In the video, Baba Okoya rose from his seat to acknowledge Adeleke's presence, while Adeleke bowed at least five times in return, choosing courtesy over the assumption that his own considerable wealth and status would speak for him.

The gathering appeared to bring together some of Nigeria's most influential and successful individuals, yet the exchange that drew the most attention was this understated moment between two titans of business.
Adeleke's Humility Captures Attention Online
The clip resonated widely because of what it communicated without words. Despite his standing as one of Nigeria's most recognised businessmen, Dr Adeleke opted for a display of old-fashioned respect rather than the sort of casual familiarity that often accompanies power and wealth.
The moment has since fuelled a broader conversation about integrity, age, and what true class looks like.
Many observers were quick to link his behaviour to his son Davido's own widely noted warmth and accessibility, suggesting the Afrobeats star may have picked up more than music from watching his father.
What netizens are saying as Davido's dad and Razaq Okoya trend
The reactions to the clip have been wide-ranging, touching on respect, leadership, and the values that wealth cannot buy.
@Omo'ba Adé Àgbède commented:
"Respect is reciprocal. A leader who wants people to respect him must respect himself first, that's what Eleganza did by standing up. But some people want us to respect thieving leaders and politicians just because they have big numbers as age. Any leader that wants people to respect him should be ready to serve, do away with greed, sincerely addressing the yearnings of the people, these will build his integrity. Nothing commands respect like integrity."

"Even bowed to the wife! Not many would be so gracious to. And Baba Osoba was the star boy yesterday. He was everywhere."

"Remember he's greeting an older man."

Davido dragged over political history of Adelekes
Legit.ng had reported that the Adeleke family’s political history had resurfaced following comments by Nigerian singer Davido about his family’s roots in politics.
In a resurfaced interview shared on Sunday, August 16, 2026, the singer revealed that his late uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, was the first politician in the family before Ademola Adeleke later followed in his footsteps.
Davido’s comments, however, sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians questioning the idea of political leadership being passed down within a family as though it were an inheritance.
