Afrobeats star Davido has responded to criticism surrounding his recent comments on Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and perceived injustice, insisting that his friendship with Seyi Tinubu does not stop him from speaking out on national issues.
The singer, born David Adeleke, had sparked debate on social media after admitting that entertainers, including himself, had not done enough to address the challenges facing ordinary Nigerians.
Taking to X on Saturday, Davido wrote: “I can’t lie, we entertainers… we dey f*ck up, I won’t lie, including me. We need to speak up. It’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go.”
His comments quickly generated reactions online, with some users questioning whether he could genuinely criticise the government because of his association with individuals linked to the presidency.
