Award-winning Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has fired back at a social media user who mocked a photo of his meal that he had shared online. The singer, who is known for living a luxurious lifestyle, had taken to Snapchat to post a picture of his simple dish consisting of fried plantain, peppered meat, and eggs.
The photo showed Davido enjoying a quiet moment in his room, taking a break from his usual busy schedule filled with tours, concerts, and studio sessions. However, what seemed like an innocent and relatable post soon drew unnecessary criticism from a netizen.
Netizen shades him for posting his meal
A user identified as @ahiwe_ik left a comment implying that such a simple meal was not befitting for a celebrity of Davido’s status. The user wrote, “This type of thing should be going on his Snapchat,” seemingly mocking the singer for showing off an ordinary plate of food.
The comment quickly spread across social media, with many interpreting it as an unnecessary dig at Davido, who is often admired for balancing his fame with a humble lifestyle.
Davido fires back strongly
Not taking the shade lightly, Davido hit back fiercely at the troll. In his response, he questioned why anyone would dictate what he should or shouldn’t post on his own page. The singer expressed disbelief at the level of entitlement some netizens display online.
In his words: “Ur very stupid… nah u go tell me wetin to do with my life? I never see this kind thing before… I can’t post my plantain n eggs again… wtf y’all be on fr.”
His reaction sparked massive discussion online, with fans sharing mixed opinions. Some applauded him for standing up for himself, while others argued that celebrities should ignore such minor comments.
Fans react to Davido’s outburst
Several social media users came to Davido’s defense, pointing out that being a superstar doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy or share a simple meal like anyone else. They emphasized that people often forget that celebrities are humans too.
One user, @UnkleAyo, commented: “Bro is son to a billionaire, one of the most successful Afrobeats artistes & still bothers about what user @/vasopresssoo thinks about his food. Tweets from his $1.5B mansion & getting rattled by bot accounts who have prolly not eaten that morning. You need self esteem soap.”
Others laughed off the incident, saying it showed Davido’s down-to-earth nature and his willingness to share authentic moments from his daily life rather than only flaunting luxury.
