Davido, the Afrobeats star, has responded to critics of his recent comments about Nigeria’s economic struggles.
The ‘Assurance’ hitmaker had advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices.
Davido’s comments sparked outrage, with some Nigerians, including actors and TV presenters, accusing him of tarnishing the country’s image.
However, the singer has responded to his critics, hurling insults at them and maintaining that he is a “real ambassador” of Nigeria.
In a series of posts via X, Davido wrote: “Lmao @tvcnewsng nah today?” the post reads.
“You all are mad cus we the real ambassadors.”
