Davido is under fire after his recent tweet about Kenya. On June 25, 2025, the Afrobeats star posted, “Peace and love to Kenya,” showing support for the country’s ongoing youth-led protests. However, his words have triggered backlash from Nigerians who feel he ignored the pain in his own country.
Many people are angry that while Davido is speaking about issues abroad, he has remained silent about the crisis in Benue State. The region has been facing mass killings and violence, leaving many displaced and afraid for their lives. His followers flooded his comments with criticism, questioning his priorities and calling him out for not using his platform to highlight their struggles. One user said, “But you didn’t tweet about the Benue crisis, your own country btw. God sees all.”
This is not the first time Davido has been called out over political issues. Critics were quick to remind him about his family’s strong political ties. His uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is currently the governor of Osun State. His father, Adedeji Adeleke, is also a powerful businessman and political figure. Many Nigerians feel that with such influence around him, Davido should be speaking up about problems in Nigeria as well.
The backlash comes shortly after Davido, his uncle, and his father visited President Tinubu in Lagos. That visit also raised questions online, with people debating the reasons behind their political meetings. For many, his silence on Benue while tweeting about Kenya feels like a betrayal.
Right now, Davido has not responded to the criticism. Fans believe that while showing love to other countries is good, he should focus first on his homeland. As the conversation continues online, one thing is clear – Nigerians want their celebrities to speak for them, especially in times of crisis.
