Davido has responded to the backlash he received over his comment about his logistics manager, Israel DMW’s failed marriage.
The afrobeat musician had sparked outrage on social media after he was heard mocking Israel’s estranged wife, Sheila, in a viral video while boarding his newly acquired private jet.
In the video, Davido was heard saying “the bitch is regretting now,” which drew widespread criticism from netizens, including celebrities. Music producer Samklef was among those who blasted Davido, stating that he lacks empathy and morals.
However, Davido seems unbothered by the criticism. In a post on his official X handle, he mocked his naysayers, saying they will still be drawn to his life despite their hatred. “If dem like make dem hate us, dem go still view our status. @jerry_shafferr,” he wrote.
Davido’s response has further fueled the controversy, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment with the musician’s attitude. Despite the backlash, Davido remains one of the most popular and influential figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry. His ability to shrug off criticism and maintain a strong online presence has earned him a reputation as a master of social media.
The controversy surrounding Davido’s comment has also sparked a wider conversation about the importance of empathy and respect in relationships. Many have called on the musician to apologize for his remarks, while others have defended his right to express himself freely. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Davido remains a polarizing figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
