Davido Faces Backlash for Attacking Erigga's Comments

Afrobeats star Davido has come under criticism for his response to rapper Erigga, who acknowledged musicians who have built their careers without family wealth. On Wednesday, Erigga tweeted a shoutout to those artists, prompting Davido, who hails from a wealthy background, to quote the post and mock Erigga's family situation.

Davido's response included a Pidgin English remark, “No be we say make your pops no guard o,” and he insulted Erigga by calling him an "imbecile." Following this exchange, many social media users criticized Davido for his reaction, suggesting he displayed low self-esteem and an inferiority complex. Comments from users highlighted that Erigga's tweet was not directed at Davido and questioned why he felt the need to respond.

The incident reflects ongoing tensions in the music industry regarding privilege and hard work.
