Davido recently made headlines for casting his first-ever vote in the U.S. 2024 elections. Sharing his excitement on social media, he encouraged others to vote peacefully but did not endorse any specific candidates. However, his action sparked criticism in Nigeria, where some fans questioned why he voted in the U.S. instead of engaging in Nigerian elections. Despite the backlash, Davido, who was born in Atlanta, expressed pride in exercising his constitutional rights as an American citizen.
Davido’s announcement about voting in the 2024 U.S. presidential election has sparked backlash from Nigerian fans, accusing him of hypocrisy. They criticized him for not being as vocal or engaged during the 2023 Nigerian elections. Some pointed out that he had not used his platform to address electoral issues in Nigeria, and instead, he was celebrating his participation in the U.S. election, which many fans found inconsistent with his previous stance on Nigerian politics.
The criticism primarily revolves around perceived double standards and a lack of support for Nigeria’s political process.
