Davido’s message on social media read: “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump.
But you @KamalaHarris should be proud! You did that! A solid woman.”
It was clear that the artist, known for his bold personality and influential social media presence, wanted to mention Harris’s resilience in the face of adversity.
What made the post even more significant was that Davido revealed that this election marked his first time ever voting in a U.S. presidential election.

Nigerian Artist, Ruger shares his thought on his fully booked shows more than that of his colleagues. He reveals that he does not just perform his songs but shows his personality to the crowd. He states that an artist can have a lot of hit songs but can still be clueless on the stage.
“Let me explain to you why I get booked so much. I don’t come on stage to sing (of which I know l’m so good at) I bring my whole fucking personality on stage it’s not a joke”.
“It’s not by having hit songs you can have a million hit songs and still be clueless on stage at a 200-capacity venue.”
This situation can also explain what Whitemoney meant when talking about Shallipopi’s success in music.
