Davido Under Fire for Outfit at Olu of Warri’s Palace
In a surprise move, Nigerian singer Davido has sparked controversy over his outfit during a recent visit to the palace of Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III. The singer, who performed at the ‘Warri Again’ concert in Delta over the weekend, joined a group of celebrities, including former NFF boss Amaju Pinnick, singer Phyno, comedian AY Makun, and Cubana Chief Priest, for a courtesy visit to the monarch.
However, the singer’s attire has drawn criticism from veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle, a native of Delta State. Doyle has questioned the appropriateness of Davido’s outfit, stating that it was "inappropriate" for a royal visit.
The controversy comes a year after Pinnick filed a N2.3 billion breach of contract suit against Davido, following the singer’s failure to perform at the 19th edition of the ‘Warri Again’ event in October 2023. However, it appears that the two parties have since resolved their differences, with Davido performing at the 2024 edition of the concert over the weekend.
The singer’s decision to visit the palace with a group of celebrities has raised eyebrows, with some questioning the appropriateness of the occasion. Doyle’s criticism of Davido’s outfit has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many weighing in on the issue.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Davido will respond to the criticism. The singer has yet to comment on the matter, but it is clear that his actions have sparked a heated debate in Nigeria and beyond.
