Adebayo Adeleke, the singer’s father, is Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun state. He is also related to the Afrobeats musician Davido.
B-Red revealed in a recent interview with HipTV that initially, his parents weren’t in favor of his music profession.
B-Red remembered working at Mcdonald’s, a popular fast food restaurant in the US, among his many other occupations while living in America.
“Before we started music, my parents did not help us with music for the first two to three years,” he said.
“If I take it back to before I came to America when I told my parents I want to start the music, they said no, we’re not going to take that, go to school.
“I went to America, I have 3 jobs at the same time. I was a cook at my brother’s university, I was working from 6 in the morning to 7 at night.
“At a point, I was working at Mcdonald’s where you sell burgers. I think I was hustling in my own kind of way so, I won’t say everything just came easy.

“I had to work to get to where I am now. Nothing in life is easy, just push through where you are going.
B-Red also recalled how, after serving as Davido’s hyper man, his songs began to attract attention.
“When I first started music, it was a struggle. The first 2 years I started singing, I had to prove myself extra hard. I’ve been singing for like six years professionally right now,” he said.
“I was hyping my cousin Davido all over the world as a hypeman before he comes on stage. So, people already knew me as a hypeman and I had to prove myself extra hard.
“Any single I dropped, people weren’t really interested in the first 2 years. I featured people, drop good songs, and dropped hits. Since then everything has been good.
“I’m not where I want to be now but I’m pushing and I’m also grateful to God that we’re having a good time, we’re doing good, we’re traveling the world and we’re making money.”
With the release of “Insane Girl” in 2013, B-Red debuted as a solo artist.
Since then, he has continued to enjoy prominence thanks to a number of successful projects, including partnerships with Davido.
