Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again found himself at the center of public discourse following a high-profile visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Lagos residence on June 3, 2025.
Accompanied by his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, the visit was documented through a series of photos shared on Davido’s Instagram story, featuring moments with both the President and First Lady Remi Tinubu.
While some fans lauded the Adeleke family’s political prominence and Davido’s role as a cultural ambassador, others criticized the timing of the visit, citing the ongoing political crisis in Osun State. The controversy stems from the reinstatement of sacked local government chairmen, a move that has heightened tensions between the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
In response to suggestions that he leverage his friendship with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Tinubu, to address the crisis, Davido clarified that their relationship is purely personal and not political. He emphasized that both Seyi Tinubu and Governor Adeleke are democratically elected officials, and he has no expectations from Seyi regarding the Osun situation .
This incident underscores the complex interplay between celebrity influence and political affiliations in Nigeria, where public figures often navigate scrutiny over their personal and professional associations.
