Taking to his X account, he wrote, “This free jet wey I dey fly all around the world dey really pain una. I’m sorry it’s my birthright. In my next life, I go come back as vulcaniser. Ma binu.”

Davido has often spoken about how his background attracts hate in the music scene, despite the fact that he has built his own brand and career over the years. He believes people still struggle to give him credit because of where he comes from.
