Davido faces backlash on social media, responds with subtle shade

Nigerian singer Davido has been embroiled in controversy after making remarks on social media that sparked outrage among netizens.

Despite the negative press, Davido remained unfazed, taking to Twitter to throw subtle shade at his critics.

The drama began when Davido introduced himself as the “King of Nigeria” to a Saudi Arabian Prince, prompting widespread backlash and comparisons to fellow artist Portable. Additionally, Davido faced criticism for allegedly shading his aide Israel DMW’s ex-wife, Sheila Courage, in a video where he hailed Israel for living his best life and implied that Sheila might regret leaving him.

Netizens were quick to reprimand Davido for his comments, given the tumultuous history between Israel and Sheila. After their split, Israel had publicly dragged Sheila on social media, even going so far as to lay curses on her. However, when Sheila announced her engagement, Israel surprisingly remained silent, allowing the issue to die down.

Undeterred by the criticism, Davido took to Twitter to post a message that seemed to address his haters: “If you like, hate me, but you’ll still monitor me on social media.”

The post has been interpreted as a subtle shade at his critics, implying that despite their dislike for him, they remain invested in his life and activities.

As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain – Davido remains unapologetic and unwilling to back down.
