Davido has responded defiantly to threats of a show cancellation following his recent comments about Nigeria’s economy. The singer’s remarks, which highlighted the country's economic struggles, have drawn backlash from some Nigerian celebrities and supporters of President Tinubu's administration. In a tweet on November 26, 2024, Davido reacted to the threats with humor, saying, “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of my interview … lol I don’t have to perform in NIGERIA .”
The comments quickly sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many fans defending the artist. Some have expressed support for his right to voice his opinions, even if it challenges the status quo. One user pointed out that Davido should not be penalized for coming from a wealthy background, highlighting the unnecessary hate directed at him.
