Nigerian singer Davido, made headlines over his exchange with a troll who condemned him for surrounding himself with Igbos.
It all started when Davido shared a video showing the moment he received legendary highlife singer, Bright Chimezie, in Lagos and treated him to a presidential welcome.
After the video was posted, an X user identified as @Yakbel took to the comment section to complain about Davido’s closeness to Igbos. According to him, the singer should not be surrounding himself with people from the Eastern tribe as a Yoruba man.
Yakbel wrote:
“Davido just dey carry Ibo full body, until when dem betray am before e rest, Yoruba boy dey frolick with Ibos in 2025, they want your head and everything you have to belong to them, you can never satisfy Ibos ooo, IBOs are not people you surround yourself with as a Yoruba man.”
