Davido recently sparked controversy after remarks he made on the American podcast Big Homies House, where he described Nigeria’s economy as being “in shambles.” He highlighted issues such as poor leadership, a weakened naira, and high fuel prices despite Nigeria being an oil-producing country. This led to significant backlash from some public figures and fans, who accused him of tarnishing Nigeria’s image globally.
The fallout has escalated, with some individuals threatening to cancel his upcoming Lagos show. In response, Davido addressed these threats on social media, stating, “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview… loooool I don’t have to perform in Nigeria,” indicating he is unbothered by the controversy. He also defended himself by emphasizing the role of entertainers as ambassadors for Nigeria, even amidst its challenges.
This situation has sparked debate among fans and critics, with some supporting his candidness while others have expressed disappointment.
