In recent developments, a fervent Davido fan has taken social media by storm, proudly boasting about a unique distinction the Nigerian music icon holds.
This dedicated supporter, in a viral video, enthusiastically claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned international football sensation, is following only one Nigerian celebrity and artist on social media, and that’s none other than Davido. According to the fan, this remarkable connection signifies Davido’s position as the “G.O.A.T.” (Greatest of All Time) among musical artists.
This statement, of course, triggered an array of reactions from netizens, with some offering a dose of humor by suggesting that Ronaldo follows many people, and it may not hold much significance. On the other hand, there are those who firmly believe that being followed by such a globally recognized figure as Ronaldo is a notable achievement in itself.
However, this isn’t the only headline-making story surrounding Davido in recent times. Kemi Filani just reported that Davido had submitted his album and his track “Feel It,” among other materials, for consideration at the Grammy Awards. What raised eyebrows in this submission was his choice of the “Best New Artist” category, despite his well-established career. This decision has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many speculating about Davido’s earnest desire to clinch a Grammy.
The controversy didn’t stop there. Just yesterday, reports emerged about a series of events involving Davido and former Big Brother Nigeria winner, Phyna. Davido stated that he does not know who Phyna is, a statement that didn’t sit well with Phyna. The fallout from this revelation led to a heated exchange of words on social media, with both sides throwing shade and igniting a lively conversation that even roped in former Big Brother colleagues, including Tacha, Kess, and Christy O.
These recent developments have only added to the buzz surrounding Davido’s career and his aspirations for international recognition.
