The comment drew a wide range of responses, with some fans applauding his confidence and accomplishments, while others accused him of being arrogant and out of touch.
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, is the son of billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke. But beyond his privileged background, he has carved out a highly successful music career of his own — delivering global chart-toppers, securing major endorsement deals, and headlining sold-out concerts around the world.
While his bold statement may have divided opinions, it also underscored the massive financial power Davido has built for himself over the years.
