I’m The Most Criticised Artist In Nigeria – Davido

Davido

Popular Afrobeats singer, Davido, has come out to speak up about the intense criticism he keeps facing as a Nigerian artist.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has a lot of haters because of his privileged upbringing, and his wealthy background could’ve actually derailed his music career at its early stage if it was widely known at the time.

Davido added that by the time Nigerians knew his dad was rich, he had already established himself as a hitmaker, and the hate could no longer bring him down.

His words, “I’m the biggest criticised artist in Nigeria. I mean, I’m on fire and I’ve been on fire for a while. In the beginning, they didn’t know that my dad was rich. So the stigma of a rich kid doing music didn’t end up as crazy as it should have been for me.

People didn’t know my father was rich. It was too late, I already did three hit songs before they found out that my dad had money…

But I just wanted to do music. I didn’t care if I had to become homeless. At that point, that was all I wanted to do. Nothing would stop me.

Over time, people started hating me because my dad is rich. But I keep on dropping good music, and it keeps working out.

It happens to everyone, once you become the biggest in anything, you will get criticised. You are doing an election, people love you and they vote for you. But when you become president, they hate you.”

WOW.
