“Leave Davido Alone, He Spoke for Struggling Nigerians” – Kanayo O Kanayo
Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O Kanayo has come out in support of Davido, following the hate over the singer’s recent comments about Nigeria’s struggling economy.
During an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast in the United States, Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, discussed Nigeria’s economic challenges, describing the situation as dire.
He advised African Americans against relocating to the country, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles.”
His remarks quickly went viral and sparked outrage among some Nigerians who accused the singer of tarnishing the nation’s image.
Others even demanded an apology, claiming his comments were unnecessary and damaging.
Kanayo, however, strongly defended Davido’s right to express his opinion, emphasizing that the singer was merely shedding light on the struggles many Nigerians face daily.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the veteran actor urged critics to focus their energy on addressing the issues raised rather than attacking the messenger.
According to Kanayo, Davido’s wealth and privileged background do not invalidate his concerns about the country’s economic challenges.
He said, “Davido spoke his mind. Why should that be a problem? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and he expressed his in good faith.
The Adeleke family is wealthy enough to live comfortably for life, but it would be wrong for him to ignore the struggles of ordinary Nigerians just because he’s okay.
His comments represent the voices of many people who can’t speak up for themselves.”
Kanayo dismissed calls for Davido to apologize, arguing that criticism often comes from a place of love and a desire for improvement.
He added that the responsibility lies with those in power to address the issues highlighted by the singer rather than deflecting blame onto him.
“Why should he apologize? For telling the truth? Davido speaks for millions of Nigerians who are struggling to make ends meet.
If his comments upset anyone, they should take it as a challenge to do better and improve the state of the country,” Kanayo remarked.
Former senator Ben Murray-Bruce has shared his belief that Afrobeats sensation Davido could someday become the Governor of Osun State.
Speaking in a recent episode of his Common Sense series, Murray-Bruce pointed to Davido’s family background and growing political interest as key reasons behind his prediction. He described Davido not just as a global music star, but as someone with strong political views and ambition.
According to him, it’s no surprise given the Adeleke family’s legacy in Osun politics. Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor, while another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, held the same position during the Babangida era.
Murray-Bruce believes if Davido decides to enter politics, especially with proper guidance and structure, he stands a strong chance. He also added that Nigeria could benefit from more entertainers in politics, given their strong connection with the people. He concluded confidently, “Davido, if you ever run, I believe you’ll win.”
Big Brother Naija Star, Uriel Oputa speaks on losing out at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA.
The reality star took to social media to express disappointment with not winning the best dressed award to the event.
It can be recalled that Prince Nelly and Liquorose both won the best dressed award for Male and Female. It can also be noted that these two are former BBN stars.
Uriel then states on her Instagram “This is not to knock anyone’s design. Everyone looked stunning. But let’s be honest,the only reason I didn’t win best dressed is because I wasn’t there on time. Nobody can tell me my dress didn’t eat.”
Nigerian Actress Chioma Chukwuka reacts emotionally to winning the best actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2025, AMVCA.
The actress was awarded the win after her role in “Seven Doors” a film produced by Femi Adebayo. Her role gathered a lot of attention from fans as they praised and applauded her acting skills.
This earned her enough credit to be recognized as the best AMVCA actress for 2025. The actress takes to social media to express her gratitude “THANK YOU JESUS !!! Words really fail me ! AMVCA BEST ACTRESS 2025.”
