Latest Music: Davido claps back at troll, defends his privileged upbringing

Nigerian music sensation Davido has found himself at the center of an online storm after a troll on X attacked his privileged upbringing.

The troll's tweet, which mocked Davido's family for having children living in America, Atlanta, and Banana Island in Lagos, struck a nerve with the singer. "There is no election on Saturday in Osun State. Don’t let people whose children are all in America, Atlanta, and Banana Island in Lagos push you. Anyways, I want to specially welcome our new security men that just arrived in the state. Oju yin ma booooo," he tweeted.

Davido swiftly responded to the troll, saying "Ur papa fuckup and taking it out on me cus my father worked hard … its crazy." The singer's reply was a clear defense of his family's wealth and his father's hard work.

This online drama comes on the heels of Davido's recent apology to the Commissioner of Police, whom he had threatened and accused of inaction in the face of hoodlums wreaking havoc in Osun State. The singer's outburst was sparked by his uncle, Governor Adeleke's announcement that ex-Osun governor Gboyega Oyetola had planned to cause trouble in Osun over his relationship with President Tinubu.

Despite his apology, it seems many have not forgiven Davido for his actions, and the online backlash continues. The singer's privileged upbringing, courtesy of his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke, has long been a subject of discussion among fans and critics alike.
