Davido
Nigerian music star, Davido, has engaged in a social media exchange with critics after expressing concern about situations in Nigeria.
In a post shared on his official page, the singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, said entertainers, including himself, have not done enough to speak out on issues affecting citizens.
“I can’t lie, we entertainers… we dey fuck up, I won’t lie, including me. We need to speak up. There’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go,” he wrote.
His comments sparked reactions online, including one from a social media user identified as ‘Princess Luna’, who questioned the sincerity of his remarks.
“Na God go punish you and your family. Go and do that performative rubbish in your City Boys group chat and get out of my face with all this pretentious nonsense. Na foolish Nigerians I blame,” she wrote.
Davido responded by denying any affiliation with a political group and defending his record of speaking on national issues.
“I no dey part of any City Boy group. When I called out the government on American media, you guys rained curses on me,” he wrote.
The singer added that although he has been friends with President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, for years, he frequently raises concerns about the country’s challenges.
“I’ve been friends with ST for years and that’s where it stops, and I call and complain to him all the time, even in person,” Davido stated.
