“What I Like About America Is True Democracy” – Davido Criticizes Nigeria’s Political System
Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has expressed his belief that Nigeria is far from being a truly democratic nation, drawing a stark comparison to the United States of America.
The award-winning artist shared his thoughts during an appearance on a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, where he spoke about politics, democracy, and his views on leadership.
Reflecting on his experience with American democracy, Davido revealed that he had no problem congratulating former U.S. President Donald Trump after his electoral win, even though he personally voted for Kamala Harris, a member of the Democratic Party.
Harris, who was Joe Biden’s running mate, became the first female vice president of the United States, marking a historic moment in American politics.
Speaking candidly, Davido said, “I congratulated Donald Trump because, at the end of the day, he won.
That’s the president! What are you talking about? Even if I had run against him, I would still have congratulated him.”
The Nigerian artist, who has spent a significant portion of his life in the U.S., contrasted this with the political climate in his home country.
“What I like about America is that there’s true democracy. Where I come from, it’s not so,” he said, expressing disappointment in Nigeria’s flawed political system.
Davido also shared his personal reason for supporting Kamala Harris during the election.
“To be honest, I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to see the first female president in my generation.
That would have been cool,” he admitted.
As of May 28, 2025, speculation is mounting regarding a potential engagement between pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce. The couple, both 35, have been dating since the summer of 2023 and are reportedly in a strong and committed relationship.
According to insider sources, an engagement is “100 percent” expected to happen, with Kelce likely to propose after retiring from the NFL. His current contract with the Kansas City Chiefs ends after the 2025 season, suggesting a proposal could occur in early 2026. Both Swift and Kelce view their relationship as their final one, with plans to marry and start a family eventually.
The couple’s families are reportedly supportive of their relationship. Swift’s parents, Scott and Andrea, are enthusiastic about the union, and Kelce has been seen spending time with them. Similarly, Swift has been embraced by Kelce’s family, having spent Mother’s Day with them in Philadelphia.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting an official announcement, especially after the couple’s unexpected absence from the 2025 American Music Awards. Their no-show sparked theories that they might have skipped the event for a secret engagement ceremony.
Despite the rumors, both Swift and Kelce have found the speculation amusing. They reportedly find it humorous that engagement rumors have been circulating since they began dating.

Music Manager Ubi Franklin reacts to criticism over his recent visit to President Bola Tinubu with Davido and Cubana Chief Priest.

“If una like make una continue to Dey abuse me, I have been abused, misunderstood and lied against for too long and I no still send una.”
