Davido engages heated exchange with critic over Tinubu govt commentary
Nigerian music star Davido fired back at a social media critic who questioned his sincerity in addressing national issues. In a recent post, Davido admitted entertainers haven't done enough to speak about injustice in Nigeria, writing 'I can't lie, we entertainers... we dey fuck up, I won't lie, including me. We need to speak up.'
The comment drew criticism from user Princess Luna, who replied '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.'
Davido responded by denying political affiliations and defending his record: '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.' The singer ended with 'God punish your generation.'
This exchange highlights tensions surrounding celebrities taking political stances in Nigeria, with many entertainers facing criticism regardless of their position on national issues.
