Nigerian celebrities Kanayo O. Kanayo and Ruggedman have come out in support of Davido, who faced criticism for his comments on Nigeria’s economy.
Davido had advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing poor leadership, a high exchange rate, and rising oil prices. His comments sparked outrage, with some Nigerians accusing him of tarnishing the country’s image.
However, Kanayo O. Kanayo defended Davido’s right to freedom of speech, stating that his opinion should be respected. He argued that Davido expressed his views “in good faith” and urged the government to focus on improving the nation.
Ruggedman also weighed in on the controversy, describing the criticism of Davido’s comment as “barking.” He urged the government to do better to avoid similar remarks in the future.
The two celebrities emphasized that Davido’s comments reflect the struggles of many Nigerians who cannot voice their concerns.
