(In Nigeria) Davido’s Feuds and Jet Jabs Ignite Social Media Firestorm

 

Nigerian music star Davido is dominating social media trends in Nigeria following a series of heated online exchanges. The drama kicked off when influencer Diva advised Davido to ignore trolls, prompting him to threaten to unfollow her, which drew widespread criticism. The situation escalated when influencer Ruth, famous for her viral fufu videos, questioned Davido’s response to what she saw as a subtle feminist critique. Davido fired back with insults, mockingly referring to Ruth as “Mrs. Bellefull” and sparking her viral nickname, “Fufu Ambassador.” Critics have since accused him of body-shaming and pointed to his selective generosity, especially after he offered ₦10M to a female fan, fueling claims that his lavish gifts often target women.

Adding to the buzz, a Wizkid fan named Yarloo mocked Davido’s private jet, calling it “community-owned” and claiming seven Adeles were registered to it. Davido retaliated by challenging Yarloo to show his father’s car, to which Yarloo admitted his father had none before deactivating his account. The jet ownership saga, combined with the ongoing feud with Ruth and accusations of selective generosity, has kept Davido at the center of Nigeria’s social media spotlight.
