Nigerian-American Afrobeats star Davido recently faced criticism from fans after announcing his participation in the ongoing US presidential election.
On October 5, 2024, Davido shared a photo of himself holding an “I voted” sticker on social media platform X, excitedly announcing that he exercised his civil right for the first time ever.
However, many Nigerians were quick to point out the hypocrisy, accusing him of not being equally vocal about the Nigerian presidential elections in 2023. Fans took to his comment section, calling him out for reportedly not voting in Nigeria. One fan commented, “This guy is a hypocrite… you’ve never voted in any presidential election in Nigeria, but now you’re seeking validation from Americans.”
Social media personality Daniel Regha also criticized Davido, stating, “Davido, where was this energy during the Nigerian general election? You didn’t show proof of vote, didn’t show support to voters, or even bother to use your platform to call on the INEC when there were reports of electoral malpractices across the country. But you are proud to vote in the US election? This is not the achievement you think it is.”
