Award-winning Nigerian singer Davido and human rights activist Omoyele Sowore have engaged in a heated exchange on social media following comments about Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State governor and Davido’s uncle.
The disagreement began after Sowore criticised Adeleke during a recent interview on the forthcoming Osun governorship election.
In the interview, Sowore described the governor as “brainless” and said he had “nothing upstairs”. He also criticised the state of infrastructure in Osogbo, the state capital, describing the city as a “war zone”.
Davido later shared a clip of the interview on X and responded by calling Sowore an “Arindin”, a Yoruba term used to describe someone considered foolish or unintelligent.
Sowore subsequently responded to Davido, arguing that the description was more appropriate for Adeleke.
