“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.
Controversial social media personality VeryDarkMan has taken aim at music heavyweights Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid over their recent luxury car purchases, calling them out for what he described as insensitivity to the country’s economic struggles.
His reaction came shortly after news broke that Burna Boy acquired a brand-new McLaren Sienna reportedly worth N3.5 billion, making him the first African to own the model. Not long after, Davido also made headlines for purchasing a 2026 Mercedes Maybach SL 680 said to be worth N1.2 billion, while Wizkid had earlier splurged on a N1.7 billion car.
In a viral Instagram video, VeryDarkMan questioned why the artists continued to flaunt their wealth when many Nigerians, including their own fans, are facing hard times. He particularly called out Davido—whom he described as a friend—asking what tangible impact the singer has made in his home state of Osun, especially for young people.
“You guys are not the government, but you’ve benefited so much from this country and from your fans,” he said. “So what have they gained from you? The only time I saw you in Osun was during your uncle’s campaign. Since then, what have you done to uplift the people?” he added.
