Nigerian music star, Davido, has engaged in a heated exchange on social media after a user criticized his comments on the state of the nation.
The controversy began after the singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, shared a post expressing concern over rising injustice and the worsening situation in Nigeria. He also admitted that entertainers, including himself, had 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. It’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go,” Davido wrote.
His post quickly attracted reactions from users, including one identified as Princess Luna, who questioned the sincerity of his remarks and accused him of being disingenuous.
“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,” the user wrote.
In response, Davido denied any affiliation with a political group and defended his history of speaking out 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.
“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.
“God punish your generation,” the singer wrote.
