Nigerian singer Davido has sparked mixed reactions online after proclaiming himself the “King of Nigeria” in a video posted on social media. The clip shows Davido meeting a young man who calls himself the Prince of Saudi Arabia in Paris, and introducing himself as the King of Nigeria.
While some fans supported Davido’s declaration, others criticized it as unnecessary bragging. Some users argued that Davido has earned the title due to his achievements in the music industry, while others saw it as a sign of arrogance.
Senator Dino Melaye chimed in, praising Davido as the most globally recognized Nigerian artiste and labelling him “001” in the music industry. However, not everyone was impressed, with some users mocking Davido’s claim and questioning his talent.
This isn’t the first time Davido has made bold claims. Earlier this year, he tweeted that no one has had peace in the music industry since his debut, and last year he addressed naysayers by reminding them of his Grammy nomination and listing his accomplishments.
The debate highlights the divided opinions on Davido’s status in the music industry and his confidence in his achievements. While some see him as a true king, others view his declaration as a sign of pride going before a fall. Regardless, the conversation has sparked a lively discussion on social media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on Davido’s claim to the throne.
