‘They’re threatening to cancel my show over economy comment’ – Davido

Afrobeats singer, Davido, has alleged that he has been receiving threats following his criticism of the Nigerian economy on an American podcast.

Media Talk Africa recalls that Davido had on American podcast, ‘Big Homies House’, warned US citizens against contemplating relocation to Africa, especially Nigeria, saying the country’s economy is in “shambles.”

His remarks earned backlash, with prominent Nigerians, including Joe Igbokwe, Reno Omokri and others publicly berating him.

Reacting to the backlash, Davido claimed his critics are angry because entertainers are the “real ambassadors.”

On his X handle, he wrote, “Yall mad cus we the real ambassadors!”

In another post, Davido alleged that there are threats to cancel his show in Lagos this December over his remarks.

He wrote, “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview … loooool I don’t have to perform in Nigeria.”
