Afrobeats superstar Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, has advised African-Americans against relocating to Africa in response to Donald Trump’s re-election as President of the United States.

Speaking on the Big Homies House podcast, Davido addressed the growing trend of African-Americans expressing a desire to leave the U.S. following Trump’s political victory.

While acknowledging the appeal of Africa’s rich culture and growing global influence, he cautioned that the realities on the continent might not align with their expectations.

“It’s not cool back home. The economy now is in shambles,” Davido remarked, shedding light on the struggles faced by many African nations.

He pointed out how economic instability, widespread poverty, and limited opportunities make life challenging for millions of people across the continent.

The Nigerian artist, known for using his music to showcase African culture, emphasized that his comments were not intended to discourage interest in Africa.

Instead, he wanted to paint a realistic picture of the current situation.

Davido stressed that entertainment is one of the few sectors making Africa appear more appealing on the global stage.

He explained that music, film, and other creative industries have become a smokescreen, often masking the economic and social challenges facing the continent.

“Entertainment is what’s giving Africa a smokescreen to make it look good,” he noted, noticing the stark contrast between the continent’s vibrant cultural output and its harsh economic realities.
