Nigerian music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido on Saturday sparked reactions on social media after responding to a comment made by an X user who criticised a fan’s post about his meal.
The controversy began when a fan shared a photo of Davido’s food online, prompting an X user identified as @IkaIwe to comment, ‘This type of thing should be going on his Snapchat ??.’
Quoting the comment, Davido expressed his irritation at being told what to post, saying, ‘Ur very stupid . nah u go tell me wetin to do with my life I never see this kind thing before . I can’t post my plantain n eggs again . wtf y’all be on fr.’
The singer’s response quickly drew attention on X, with netizens describing Davido’s reaction as unnecessary for someone of his calibre. Reacting to the exchange, another X user, @UnkleAyo, wrote, ‘Bro is son to a billionaire, one of the most successful Afrobeats artiste and still bothers about what user @/vasopresssoo thinks about his food.
‘Tweets from his $1.5B mansion and getting rattled by bot accounts who have prolly not eaten that morning.
‘You need self esteem soap.’
Similarly, another user, eneskloset, faulted Davido’s behaviour, stating, ‘Whoever is managing Davido has failed as a manager. Both his team and management failed to keep him in check. As a public figure and entertainer it is very wrong to act this way on a public space let alone throw insult to people every now and then. Davido is great but he should try and calm down and keep his head in check, he behaves like a child.’
