Davido under fire over social media spat with fan
Afrobeat superstar Davido has sparked a lively debate on social media after responding to a fan’s advice on obtaining an electric car charger for his newly acquired 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre.
The singer had taken to X to express his urgent need for a charger, prompting a fan, @Seniormandre, to question why he didn’t purchase one from the same location where he bought the car.
Davido’s response, “That one nah ur papa business,” has generated a mixed reaction from netizens, with some criticizing his reply as dismissive and similar to Wizkid’s response to a fan in a previous incident. The exchange has sparked a wider discussion on the importance of customer service and the expectations surrounding celebrity interactions with their fans.
