In a startling Twitter exchange that has left social media buzzing, a X user with the name of legendary Nigerian drummer and Grammy Award winner Sikiru Adepoju, or rather a verified parody account posing as him, has unleashed scathing remarks about Afrobeats star Davido.
The response followed a tweet by popular skit maker Nasty Blaq, who praised Davido’s contributions to the entertainment industry and suggested he deserves respect for his achievements.
The parody account, purportedly representing Adepoju, responded with a sharp critique of the “Fall” singer, claiming that Nigerians need to take a closer look at the real Davido.
“I can’t believe Nigerians still think Davido is an innocent man and an angel in disguise,” the tweet read, expressing frustration over what he described as a misplaced perception of Davido’s persona.
The post further contended that Davido’s benevolent image hides a “corny and shady” side, alleging that the singer has scammed Nigerians on more than one occasion.
The account’s lengthy thread suggested Davido has repeatedly compromised his brand for personal gain, going so far as to accuse him of silencing the careers and ambitions of other artists in the industry.
The tweet hinted at a supposed “campaign” by Davido and his “clown influencers” to overshadow and undermine the work of fellow musicians, further describing Davido as prioritizing his own success over the collective growth of the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The tweet was accompanied by short clips of Davido and his manager, which the account used as “evidence” of the singer’s alleged dubious activities. Social media erupted in debate following the thread, with fans divided between defending Davido and calling out his alleged misdeeds.
Many of Davido’s fans were quick to dismiss the accusations, branding the comments as the work of a parody account meant to stir controversy.
