Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has clarified the nature of his relationship with Seyi Tinubu following criticism that trailed his recent comments on insecurity and injustice in Nigeria.
The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, had earlier taken to X on Saturday to lament the state of the nation and fault entertainers, including himself, for not speaking up enough on issues affecting Nigerians.
“I can’t lie, we entertainers… we dey fuck up, I won’t lie, including me. We need to speak up. It’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go,” he wrote.
His post sparked mixed reactions, with some social media users questioning his sincerity because of his perceived closeness to members of the President’s family.
One X user, identified as #princessluna237, accused the singer of being performative, alleging that he belonged to a “City Boys” group chat and was too close to Seyi Tinubu to criticise the government.
“Na God go punish you and your family. Go and do that performative rubbish in your City Boys group chat and get tf out of my face with all this pretentious nonsense. Na foolish Nigerians I blame,” she wrote.
