Davido Fires Back at Cultism Allegation from Fan Who Claims He’s Gone Too Far with His Actions

 

Nigerian music icon, Davido, has once again found himself at the center of a heated debate on social media, this time involving an accusation that he is promoting cultism. The drama unfolded on X (formerly Twitter), where a seemingly devoted fan voiced his disappointment in the singer’s recent online activity, sparking a wave of reactions from users.

The fan, clearly conflicted by his admiration for Davido and concern over the artist’s perceived influence, didn’t mince words when calling out what he viewed as inappropriate behavior. According to him, Davido had gone too far and was now treading on dangerous ground by supposedly encouraging cultism through his social media posts.

“I love Davido and all that. But I’ll say it again, he’s always overdoing at times. Today he’s actively encouraging and promoting cultism. Smh. Omooo,” the fan wrote. The tone of his message conveyed frustration and a sense of betrayal, given his self-professed loyalty to the star.

He didn’t stop there. The critic extended his disapproval to other members of Davido’s fan base, accusing them of blindly defending the singer no matter what he does. According to him, some fans are quick to justify even questionable behavior just because of their loyalty, a pattern he finds worrying.

“As for una wey be real fan, make una continue dey defend some nonsense shey ee gbo,” he added, calling for more accountability among the singer’s die-hard supporters.

The post quickly gained attention, attracting a mix of support and backlash. While some fans agreed with the critique, others were quick to counter it, defending Davido’s actions and accusing the poster of reading too much into a harmless social media gesture.

Davido himself did not stay silent. Known for his bold and sometimes blunt responses, the Afrobeats superstar wasted no time in issuing a sharp reply that shut down the accusations in a single sentence.

“That one nah ur papa business,” he fired back, leaving many users either cheering or cringing at the dismissive clapback.

This type of online exchange isn’t entirely new for Davido, who has developed a reputation for being outspoken, especially when it comes to defending himself or his brand. Whether it’s responding to criticism over his lifestyle, music, or personal choices, the singer has consistently shown that he’s not one to back down or ignore a jab.

The conversation around cultism and its influence within the entertainment industry, however, remains a sensitive topic. In Nigeria, cultism has long been a societal issue, often linked to violence, peer pressure, and youth involvement in dangerous underground groups. Allegations, even if unproven or speculative, can cast a shadow over public figures, especially when those figures are role models to millions of young people.

For those following the star’s journey, it’s just another chapter in a career defined by musical brilliance, public scrutiny, and a constant push against the boundaries of fame.
