Ruggedman Backs Davido on Economy Comments and Urges Government to Solve Nigeria’s Problems
Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has spoken out in defense of afrobeats superstar Davido following the backlash over his recent remarks about Nigeria’s struggling economy.
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, stirred controversy during a podcast interview where he advised Americans against relocating to Africa, particularly Nigeria.
He described the country’s economy as being in a dire state, referring to it as a “shamble.”
Responding to the criticism, Ruggedman took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to share his perspective.
He argued that Davido’s comments were not far from the truth and called on the government to address the real issue—the deteriorating state of the economy.
According to Ruggedman, fixing the nation’s problems should take priority over attacking Davido for stating what many Nigerians experience daily.
He wrote, “Davido has said what he said. Now, moving forward, the government should focus on fixing Nigeria so that nobody will have reasons to make such comments again.
All this barking everywhere won’t solve the problem. The hardship is too much.”
Popular Nigerian streamer, Carter Efe, has expressed excitement after singer Davido gifted him ₦20 million.
It will be recalled that the singer recently appeared on Carter Efe’s show, where his appearance alone broke records. Following the show, Davido promised to gift the streamer ₦20 million—a promise he later fulfilled.
Carter Efe made the announcement on social media, confirming that the money had been received. “Yeeeee Davido 20 million naira, I don die,” he wrote.
Afrobeats singers and celebrity couple, Simi and Adekunle Gold, have announced that they are expecting their second child.
The news was revealed in a music video by Adekunle Gold, which featured his family. The couple later took to social media to share the video, sparking excitement among fans and loved ones, who flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages.
