Afrobeats heavyweight Davido has once again proven his uncanny ability to command online attention, not through music this time, but with a cheeky claim involving none other than football icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Na Me Give Am Luck” – The Comment That Shook the Internet
The drama began when an old clip of Davido resurfaced, showing the singer in full swagger, declaring, “Na me give am luck,” in reference to Ronaldo’s success. With a chuckle, he doubled down in the comments: “I was a mad man,” revealing the jest behind the viral moment. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as fans eagerly await his highly anticipated album 5ive.
Afrobeats Meets Football Royalty
This isn’t Davido’s first Ronaldo reference. The singer name-dropped the Portuguese striker in his 2017 hit Fall, drawing parallels between their stardom. But the connection runs deeper than lyrics—Davido remains the only African artist followed by Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram, a subtle nod that fans say validates the artist’s boastful banter.
Troll Army on the March
Still, not everyone was laughing. Online trolls quickly weaponized the clip, calling the moment a desperate grab for relevance. Some critics accused him of name-dropping for publicity, while others took the opportunity to question his credibility in the music space. Hashtags began to trend, as Twitter fingers turned savage.
Davido’s War with the Trolls
But Davido isn’t new to the social media battlefield. In a previous interview, he revealed spending $5,000 to track down a persistent online troll—only to find the hater begging for mercy when caught. That story has since become folklore in the Nigerian entertainment scene, reinforcing his zero-tolerance stance on cyberbullying.
Still Standing, Still Shining
Despite the digital dust storm, Davido remains unshaken. Whether it’s dropping hits, stoking debates, or teasing connections with global icons, he knows how to keep fans—and critics—talking. One thing is clear: when Davido speaks, the internet listens.
