Social Media Storm Claims Of Davido’s Success Tied To Father’s Wealth Spark Online Outcry

A Nigerian man stirred controversy on social media with his assertion that singer Davido owes his fame to his father’s wealth, suggesting he wouldn’t rival Wizkid otherwise.

Comparing Davido to artists like Buju and Fireboy, he implied that Davido’s career was propelled solely by his family’s financial resources.

His statement read: “If not for Davido’s father’s money, he can never be in the same league as Wizkid; he will definitely be an average artiste like Buju, Fireboy, and the rest.”Nigerian Singer Adekunle Gold Reacts To Complaint About Being Blocked By Simi On Social Media

The post, shared on X (formerly Twitter), elicited a range of responses, with users voicing their opinions in the comments section.

Here are some reactions:

@sunnyvip50: “This is just hate speech. Every parent’s dream is not for their children to start from scratch but to pave the way for them to enjoy life to the fullest.”

@OloriOfOloris: “So, people like DJ Cuppy, LAX, Falz, whose fathers have considerable wealth, why are they not in the same league as Wizkid? This is baseless talk.”

@Samuel_Black_DE: “Did you just say Fireboy is average? Show me ten songwriters and artists better than him in present-day music.”

@De_GreatKhan: “Sounds like Dj Cuppy, B-red, and others’ parents’ bank accounts don’t agree with transferring money to Afrobeats.”
