Nigerian singer, Davido has declared on his X account that he is Igbo by blood.
The singer made this revelation on Tuesday, May 20, via his X account following a troll who scrutinized him for being too ‘accommodating’ of Igbos.
The troll wrote, “Davido just dey carry Ibo full body, until when dem betray am before e rest, Yoruba boy dey frolick with Ibos in 2025, they want your head and everything you have to belong to them, you can never satisfy Ibos ooo, IBOs are not people you surround yourself with as a Yoruba man“
Responding to the troll, Davido wrote, “I am Igbo by blood.”
Davido, who is one of the most influential musicians is of mixed Nigerian ancestry. His father, Deji Adeleke is a Yoruba man who hails from Osun state, however, his mother (Davido’s grandmother) is Igbo, while his late mother, Veronica Adeleke is from Edo state.
