Nigerian superstar Davido exchanged words with some X users on Friday after one of them claimed he is not taken seriously in the music industry due to his frequent online spats.

The user wrote under his handle that Davido’s constant back-and-forths on social media undermine his credibility. But the singer swiftly fired back, insisting he is the one “giving the music industry life.”

Davido added that unlike other celebrities, he doesn’t block his critics. Instead, he prefers they continue watching his luxury lifestyle while he occasionally “insults their fathers.”

The exchange has since stirred reactions online, with fans split between defending the Afrobeats star and questioning his approach to critics.
