Davido Stands Up for His Family After Wizkid’s Comment
Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has set the record straight about his family background, insisting that he hails from a well-respected home despite what some may believe.
Addressing misconceptions, the singer clarified that his occasional missteps in the public eye don’t reflect his upbringing or values.
During a recent visit to the Olu of Warri in Delta State, Davido emphasized the strong foundation laid by his parents.
He expressed that while his behavior as a celebrity might sometimes be viewed as questionable, it doesn’t negate the respect and proper training instilled in him.
He said, I was raised by wonderful parents and come from a respectful family, but there are times, as OBO, when I might act out of line.
The clarification comes after recent remarks from fellow artist Wizkid, who appeared to throw shade at Davido’s family.
Wizkid hinted that Davido’s upbringing was questionable, contrasting it with his own background.
He subtly criticized the viral dance videos of Davido’s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, known for his lively dance moves, stating, When you see people raised properly, you can tell.
You won’t catch my uncle dancing online.
Davido’s comments highlight his desire to remind fans and critics alike that his public persona doesn’t always mirror his true values or family upbringing.
Despite being in the limelight and navigating the challenges that come with fame, he wanted to make it clear that his roots remain grounded in respect and discipline.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
