“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.
South Korean police have carried out a raid on YG Entertainment’s headquarters in Seoul as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged copyright infringement involving K-pop star G-Dragon and the company’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk.
The case traces back to a complaint filed in late 2024 by a composer identified only as “Mr. A,” who claims a song he created was used without his consent more than a decade ago. According to him, the track was reworked into a medley performed during G-Dragon’s 2009 concert and later included on his 2010 live album Shine a Light.
This is the second police raid on YG in connection to the matter, with investigators said to be gathering documents and questioning individuals linked to the song’s production. Authorities have not released further details, but confirmed the investigation is still active.
YG Entertainment has rejected the accusations, insisting the issue stems from a misunderstanding. They explained that during the 2009 concert preparations, there were two completely different songs sharing the same title, which may have caused the confusion.
