Davido has sparked conversations online after openly admitting that Nigerian entertainers, including himself, have not done enough to speak out about the country's worsening challenges.
The award-winning Afrobeats star took to X to share his frustrations over the state of the nation, urging celebrities and influential figures to use their platforms more responsibly in addressing issues affecting ordinary Nigerians.
In a candid post, the singer acknowledged that many public figures have remained quiet while insecurity and other societal concerns continue to grow.
“I can’t lie, we entertainers… we dey f**k up, I won’t lie, including me. We need to speak up. It’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go,” he wrote.
His remarks came amid an exchange with social media users, some of whom questioned whether he had been vocal enough about the country's challenges.
Responding to criticism, Davido rejected suggestions that he was aligned with any political faction or "City Boy" movement.
The musician pointed out that he has previously criticised the government and faced backlash for doing so.
“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 said.
Davido also addressed speculation surrounding his relationship with Seyi Tinubu, explaining that their connection is personal rather than political.
“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,” he added.
