Popular social commentator Geh Geh has called out activist VeryDarkMan over his comments about Davido’s political stance. He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Accusing his colleague of allowing his friendship with singer Burna Boy to influence his perception of Davido, Geh Geh blasted VDM for allowing the financial assistance he receives from the “Last Last” crooner to influence his thinking and actions.
He concluded by advising VeryDarkMan to separate his personal relationships from political topics rather than let the rivalry between two Afrobeats stars be his downfall.
His words, “VeryDarkMan’s friendship with Burna Boy is making him see Davido as his enemy.
Because of the favour and help he is getting from Burna Boy, he is now inheriting Burna Boy’s rivalry with Davido.
That statement you made about washing Davido down if he talks about politics in Nigeria again is very wrong. You are not more Nigerian than Davido.”
David Adedeji Adeleke (born November 21, 1992), who is better known as Davido, is an American-born Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer. Davido was born in Atlanta, US, and raised in Lagos; he made his music debut as a member of the music group KB International.
He studied business administration at Oakwood University before dropping out to make beats and record vocal references. Davido rose to fame after releasing “Dami Duro”, the second single from his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo (2012), from which six additional singles—”Back When”, “Ekuro”, “Overseas”, “All of You”, “Gbon Gbon”, and “Feel Alright”—were taken. In 2012, Davido won the Next Rated award at The Headies. Between 2013 and 2015, he released the hit singles “Gobe”, “One of a Kind”, “Skelewu”, “Aye”, “Tchelete (Goodlife)”, “Naughty”, “Owo Ni Koko”, “The Sound” and “The Money”.
In May 2014, Davido criticized the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) after missing his flight to London, and accused them of pestering him for money. On May 11, 2014, the PR officer for the NIS denied Davido’s allegations and said they did not issue him an exit permit because he did not have the correct travel documents with him.
On April 6, 2012, Nigerian Entertainment Today reported Davido had signed a ₦30 million endorsement deal with MTN. The deal unveiled him as the face of MTN Pulse, a marketing campaign aimed at Nigerian youth. On October 24, 2013, Pulse Nigeria reported Guinness Nigeria had signed Davido for an endorsement deal.
