Nigerian music star, Davido, has engaged in a heated exchange on social media after a user reacted to a post in which he expressed concern over the state of affairs in Nigeria.
The remarks were contained in a post shared on the singer’s official social media page.
Davido admitted that entertainers, including himself, had not done enough to speak up against the challenges confronting Nigerians, stressing that the level of injustice in the country had become alarming.
His comments, however, drew criticism from a social media user identified as Princess Luna, who questioned the sincerity of the singer’s concerns and accused him of being hypocritical.
“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.
In response, Davido denied belonging to any political group and defended his history of speaking out on national issues.
The singer recalled facing criticism after publicly commenting on governance issues during an appearance on American media platforms.
He also clarified that his relationship with President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, was purely personal, stating that they had been friends for years and that he regularly voiced his concerns about the country’s situation to him.
Davido subsequently fired back at the critic, ending the exchange with a strongly worded rebuke directed at her generation.
“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,”
“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
