Nigerian singer Davido recently claimed that his Lagos show might be canceled following comments he made about the state of Nigeria’s economy during a radio interview in the United States. The singer described the economy as being in poor condition, which sparked strong reactions from some Nigerians.
Critics argue that Davido’s statement could harm Nigeria’s image abroad. They believe public figures like him should speak positively about the country, especially when addressing an international audience.
In response to Davido’s claims of threats to cancel his show, APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe said actions have consequences. He called on the singer to acknowledge his mistake and offer an apology to Nigerians for his remarks.
The situation has ignited discussions on whether celebrities should prioritize honesty or patriotism when discussing national issues on global platforms.
