Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has issued a stern warning to those scrutinizing his finances. The award-winning singer took to social media yesterday, addressing individuals who closely monitor his spending habits and overall financial status.
Davido, known for his chart-topping hits and lavish lifestyle, didn’t mince words in his latest social media post. “To those watching my pockets, you’ll never understand. Stop stalking my finances,” the singer declared, sparking immediate reactions from fans and critics alike.
This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about the artist’s spending habits, which have often been described as extravagant by media outlets and fans.
Over the years, Davido has made headlines for his luxury acquisitions. These include a fleet of high-end vehicles, most notably a Rolls Royce, which industry insiders estimate to be worth over $300,000.
In addition to his automotive collection, the singer reportedly purchased a plot of land on Lagos Island last year. Sources close to the deal suggest the property may have cost upwards of 2 billion Naira (approximately $4.8 million USD), though this figure remains unconfirmed.
Despite his penchant for luxury, Davido is also known for his generosity. Israel DMW, a member of Davido’s team, recently shared insights into the singer’s philanthropic side.
“Davido sponsored my entire wedding,” Israel revealed in an exclusive interview. “He’s also helped me secure temporary visas for five different countries. His generosity knows no bounds.”
Davido’s statement has elicited varied responses from the public, particularly among fans of other Nigerian artists. The ongoing rivalry between Davido’s fanbase and those of singers like Wizkid has added fuel to the fire.
One Twitter user, @chi_omaa, commented: “Yeah, you’re rich, but not richer than Bigwiz!” This sentiment was echoed by several others, highlighting the competitive nature of fan interactions in the Nigerian music scene.
However, some voices called for unity. User @mayorsoj wrote: “Dear Nigerians, do you know you can support Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy and still not diff?
Davido’s bold statement against ‘pocket watchers’ has reignited discussions about celebrity privacy, fan culture, and the intersection of wealth and fame in the music industry. As the debate continues, it’s clear that the relationship between artists and their audiences is evolving in the digital age, with implications that extend far beyond the world of entertainment.
