I Let Pride Take Over – Fido Apologizes After Mocking Davido Fans

According to Ireporter Online, Nigerian singer Fido has issued a public apology following backlash over remarks targeting Davido’s fan base. The controversy arose after Fido referred to the fans as “Osakpolo FC,” shortly after one of his own songs temporarily surpassed a track by Davido on music charts.

The comment drew widespread criticism from fans and members of the music community, prompting Fido to address the situation directly. In his apology, he admitted that rapid stardom had influenced some of his decisions, fueled by ego, excitement, and inexperience. He acknowledged that certain words and actions were inappropriate and expressed remorse for disappointing fans, fellow artists, and the global Afrobeats community.

Fido explained that he had chosen to step back, reflect, and learn from the incident, emphasizing that personal growth requires acknowledging mistakes. He promised that his upcoming music would be produced with greater honesty, gratitude, and maturity, reflecting his evolution as an artist.

In a detailed statement shared on social media, Fido wrote that admitting errors and retracing steps is part of becoming a better person. He extended apologies to fans, colleagues, and the broader Afrobeats community, expressing gratitude to those who held him accountable without resorting to cancelation.
