Davido Reacts Sharply to Fan’s Accusation of Promoting Cultism

Nigerian music superstar Davido has fired back at a fan who accused him of promoting cultism and going too far with his actions. The fan, who uses the handle @vardysteveayo on X (formerly Twitter), expressed disappointment in the singer, claiming that Davido’s behavior sends the wrong message to his followers.

The fan, who claimed to be a supporter of the award-winning artist, shared his concerns on the platform, saying Davido was “overdoing things” and encouraging cult-like behavior. He added that many of Davido’s fans defend him blindly, even when he acts in questionable ways.

This comment sparked heated reactions online, but Davido wasted no time in clapping back. He dismissed the accusation with a short and blunt reply: “That one nah ur papa business.” The response has since gone viral, attracting support from loyal fans and criticism from others who expected a more serious address.

The post came just as discussions about celebrities’ influence on youth behavior continue to grow, especially regarding themes like violence and loyalty among fan bases. Davido, one of Nigeria’s most influential artists, has often found himself at the center of social media debates.

What did Davido’s fan accuse him of exactly?
The user criticized Davido’s recent posts, saying they reflect a level of intensity and messaging that could be interpreted as promoting cultism. He expressed worry that Davido’s platform might negatively influence young followers who look up to him.

Meanwhile, in a separate entertainment update, fellow Afrobeats star Zinoleesky opened up about the sacrifices he made to pursue music. In an interview with SB Live, Zinoleesky said he had to run away from home because his parents didn’t support his music dreams. He said most Nigerian parents want their children to study professional courses or learn trades, not pursue entertainment careers.

Zinoleesky’s story echoes the challenges faced by many young talents in Nigeria’s music industry, highlighting the cultural barriers they must overcome to follow their passion.

Tips and recommendations:

• Celebrities should be mindful of their posts and the influence they hold over young fans.
• Fans should engage in respectful criticism and avoid harsh judgments without full context.
• Young artists can learn from Zinoleesky’s experience but should also seek safer and more supportive paths to pursue their dreams.
