Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has declared that he is Igbo by blood.
The music star made the statement in response to a social media user who criticized his close association with Igbo people.
The troll, identified as Yakbel on X (formerly Twitter), warned Davido that he could be betrayed by his Igbo associates because he is a Yoruba man. The user accused the Igbo of being insatiable and untrustworthy allies for a Yoruba person.
“Davido just dey carry Ibo full body, until when dem betray am before e rest. Yoruba boy dey frolick with Ibos in 2025, they want your head and everything you have to belong to them. You can never satisfy Ibos. Ibos are not people you surround yourself with as a Yoruba man,” Yakbel wrote.
In a swift and clear response, Davido dismissed the tribal comment, saying, “Lol. I am Igbo by blood.”
The singer’s response has since drawn support from fans and social media users who applauded his stance against ethnic stereotyping.
