The Unavailable hitmaker noted that Nigeria’s economy is in shambles and Americans should not bother about relocating to the country.
According to Doyle, Davido’s statement was dense because his father Dr Adedeji Adeleke has a $2 billion power generation investment in the country. Hence, he felt Davido ought to know much better.
Some netizens asked Doyle to cut Davido some slack while others said that President Bola Tinubu has said worse things about the country.
