Davido’s public appearance with Seyi Tinubu at a polo event has triggered backlash on social media, with many Nigerians calling out double standards. Critics are pointing out how Burna Boy was heavily criticized for a similar interaction, while Davido seems to be getting a pass. The debate is fueling wider conversations about celebrity privilege, hypocrisy, and tribal bias in public discourse.
  • Davido was seen with Seyi Tinubu and Cubana Chief Priest at a recent polo event.
  • Social media erupted, accusing fans of hypocrisy for not dragging Davido as Burna Boy was.
  • Users called Davido “anti-people,” citing his close ties to elite politicians across party lines.
  • Others defended him, noting he's not a politician and shouldn’t be held to activist standards.
  • The conversation also exposed tribal divisions and class resentment.

This incident has reignited discussions on how Nigerians judge their celebrities based on favoritism and tribal identity rather than consistent principles. While some argue Davido's actions reflect elite unity across political lines, others say it shows selective outrage among fans depending on the celebrity involved.

As political tensions rise and economic pressures mount, the public is becoming more critical of celebrity behavior. But does outrage have a tribal bias, or are fans just tired of double standards?
