Afrobeats megastar Davido has once again ignited social media debates after delivering a fiery response to a fan who urged him to take action over a series of leaked private chats circulating online.
What began as a routine fan complaint on X took a sharp turn when a user, @ibrosnaps, posted alleged messages said to be from Davido — messages accusing an unnamed individual of ingratitude and issuing vague threats about “coming to Lagos.” The user questioned the authenticity and motives behind the alleged chats, asking publicly:
“What has he ever done for me? … Is 30BG a music group or a crime syndicate?”
As the controversy spread, another fan weighed in, directing their frustration at Davido himself:
“I am tired of seeing fools posting screenshots of your chats … it’s embarrassing, mahn. If you wanna deal with anyone, go ahead and just do it.”
But Davido, rather than clarifying or addressing the chatter, fired back with a two-word response that instantly went viral:
“F* off.”**
The blunt reply, captured by Pulse Nigeria, sparked an immediate split among fans. Some expressed shock that the hitmaker would snap at supporters, with one user complaining that “Using an F-word on your fans is insane.” Others defended him, insisting the superstar had every right to shut down unsolicited advice and mounting online pressure.
This isn’t new territory for Davido. Just weeks earlier, he delivered another sharp rebuke after someone advised him to restructure his fanbase. His response — “U dey crase” and “We dey stack millions … you dey talk about group chat” — circulated widely, solidifying what many now call his “unfiltered era.”
Observers say the latest exchange highlights a broader shift in how Davido engages with public scrutiny. Rather than entertaining rumours, leaked screenshots, or fan-driven drama, the singer seems increasingly unwilling to validate online noise. His abrupt replies, they argue, are a way of drawing boundaries in an age when celebrity access has blurred into entitlement.
Meanwhile, reactions across X remain mixed — part outrage, part amusement, part admiration. For some, it’s a reminder that fame doesn’t erase frustration. For others, it’s proof that Davido is doubling down on a no-nonsense approach to digital controversies.
One thing is clear: in the fast-moving world of Afrobeats and online fandom, Davido isn’t playing by PR rules — and he’s making that known one blunt tweet at a time.
