A Nigerian man ignited a social media debate, suggesting that singer Davido owes his success to his father's wealth, unlike Wizkid.
He compared Davido to artists like Buju and Fireboy, insinuating that without his father's money, Davido would be average.
The individual's assertion stirred considerable discussion on social media, asserting that Davido's prominence in the music industry is primarily attributable to his father's affluent background. Comparisons were drawn between Davido and other artists such as Buju and Fireboy, with the implication being that without his familial financial support, Davido would not have achieved the same level of success and would instead have remained on par with lesser-known artists. This claim, posted on X (formerly Twitter), sparked a flurry of reactions from users, prompting a wide-ranging debate on the role of privilege and talent in the music industry.
Many chimed in with their opinions, though specific examples weren't provided.
