During the interview, Davido warned African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing the poor state of the economy.
He clarified that his comments weren’t meant to insult Africa but to highlight specific parts of the continent, leaving out the struggles in less developed areas.
His remarks didn’t sit well with some prominent figures, including Reno Omokri, Patrick Doyle, and Akashat Nymat, who accused him of portraying Nigeria negatively.
Many Nigerians also criticized him on social media, arguing that his statements undermined the country’s image.

“The way my accent be for that interview dey sweet me. Very demure.
“Lmao @tvcng nah today?” Davido added.
