Nigerian music star Davido has revealed that his Lagos concert slated for December might be under threat following his controversial remarks about the country’s economy on an American podcast.
During his appearance on the podcast Big Homies House, Davido warned Americans against relocating to Nigeria, describing the nation’s economy as being in “shambles.” His comments triggered backlash from prominent figures like Joe Igbokwe and Reno Omokri, among others, who criticized his statements.
Addressing the criticism, Davido asserted that entertainers are the “real ambassadors” of Nigeria, defending his right to speak on national issues. On his X handle, he wrote, “Y’all mad cus we the real ambassadors!”
He further alleged threats to cancel his Lagos concert over the controversy, saying, “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview… loooool I don’t have to perform in Nigeria.”
This development has sparked debates online, with fans split between defending Davido’s right to express his opinions and questioning the appropriateness of his remarks on an international platform.
