Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has spoken candidly about the intense criticism he’s faced throughout his music career, claiming that no other Nigerian artist has endured as much backlash as he has.
Reflecting on the highs and lows of his journey, Davido revealed that he has often been the target of relentless online trolling and public scrutiny. He noted that the negativity hasn’t only affected him personally but has also taken a toll on the artists signed to his record label.
According to him, his signees sometimes feel demoralized by the harsh comments they receive on social media. To help them cope, Davido said he often encourages them to ignore the negativity and focus on their goals, using his own resilience as a source of motivation.
Despite the ongoing criticism, Davido affirmed that he remains focused, thriving, and unshaken in the face of adversity.
“I think in the history of Nigeria, I think I am the most bashed and disrespected artiste. In Nigeria, if you are the son of a successful man, you gonna get it. “.
