Renowned Nigerian singer, Davido, has addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding his Lagos show following reactions to his recent interview. The superstar’s response has sparked significant discussion among fans and critics alike.
The controversy began after Davido made a comment in a recent interview, criticizing the country’s economic state. He noted that the Nigerian economy was “in shambles,” a remark that triggered a wave of mixed reactions on social media. While some people supported his candidness, others accused him of being unpatriotic, claiming that his statement was detrimental to the country’s image.
Amid the backlash, Davido took to his X page to address the situation. He revealed that there were alleged plans to cancel his highly anticipated Lagos show, scheduled to hold on December 24th, 2024. Despite the threats, the singer maintained a calm yet defiant tone, asserting his ability to perform on a global stage without being restricted to Nigeria.
He wrote:
“Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview … loooool I don’t have to perform in NIGERIA 🇳🇬.”
This bold statement highlighted Davido’s international appeal and his status as a global icon. His remarks further fueled discussions, with some fans expressing their frustration over the perceived attempt to sabotage his show, while others debated the validity of his earlier comments about the economy.
Reactions from social media users have been diverse, with many fans defending the singer and acknowledging his contributions to Nigerian music. Others took a more humorous approach, while some criticized him for his perceived disregard for performing in his home country.
