A surprise outcry was sparked when Radiogad, a Nigerian commentator named Destiny Ezeyim, publicly criticized Davido, a prominent Afrobeat artist, in a recent video.
Davido had just released his first single of the year, “Awuke,” featuring American artist YG Marley, which garnered millions of streams within 24 hours, sending fans into a frenzy.
Despite this unprecedented success, Radiogad expressed disappointment, suggesting that Davido should rely on songwriters instead of producing music himself.
When the news broke, social media users were left reeling. “As you wish someone’s downfall, you too will go down,” commented @thedaisystouch. Others responded angrily, with @g3pboy2023 saying, “You’re bigger than this, bro. You’re criticizing someone’s hard work. Davido is a legend, you need to give him his credit. It’s not easy to sing.” Others thought the criticism was unwarranted, while some even suggested @Wizkid was behind it all.
Meanwhile, Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus shared a series of photos on social media, only to be met with harsh criticism. In the images, she is seated at a lawmaker’s desk with an open laptop, expressing her hopes for a great November and wishing her fans a happy new month. However, the response was overwhelmingly negative, with many criticizing her choice of pose.
It’s no secret that Badmus often uses social media to showcase her new role as Special Adviser to Tajudeen Abass, which includes sharing behind-the-scenes moments from high-level meetings. Perhaps, this recent backlash was a sign that her fans were craving something more from her.
