Davido Sparks Online Storm After Saying Entertainers Have Failed Nigerians

Nigerian music star Davido has engaged in a heated social media exchange after expressing concern about the state of affairs in Nigeria.

In a post shared on his official X page in the early hours of May 30, 2026, the Jejereje hitmaker admitted that entertainers, including himself, have not done enough to speak out on issues affecting ordinary 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 quickly drew reactions online, including a harsh response from a user identified as Princess Luna, who questioned his sincerity.

“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 fired back, denying any affiliation with a political group and defending his record 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,” he replied.

The singer added that although he has been friends with President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, for years, their relationship does not prevent him from raising concerns about Nigeria’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.
