Davido recently stirred controversy during an appearance on the American podcast Big Homies House, where he criticized Nigeria's economy and cautioned against relocating to the country. He described the economy as being in "shambles," citing issues such as a poor exchange rate, high oil prices, and economic instability. This led to backlash from prominent Nigerians, who accused him of tarnishing the country’s image on an international platform
In response, Davido defended his statements, asserting that entertainers are the "real ambassadors" of Nigeria and that he was speaking the truth about the country's struggles. He also expressed frustration over threats to cancel his upcoming Lagos concert due to his remarks, sarcastically suggesting that he didn’t need to perform in Nigeria if people were offended
The incident has sparked debates about the responsibilities of celebrities in addressing national issues and the appropriateness of airing such views on global platforms. Fans and critics remain divided, with some supporting his candor while others deem his comments harmful to Nigeria's international reputation
