Veteran rapper, Ruggedman, has come to the defense of Afrobeats singer, Davido, who has been under fire for his recent comments on the Nigerian economy. Davido had warned American citizens against relocating to Nigeria, stating that the country’s economy is in “shambles” during a podcast interview.
Ruggedman slammed those criticizing Davido, saying that the singer’s comment was “on point.” He urged the government to fix the economy, stressing that criticizing Davido isn’t fixing the country. “All this barking all over the place is not fixing the nation. The hardship is too much,” Ruggedman wrote on his X handle.
The rapper’s defense of Davido comes amid widespread criticism of the singer’s comments. Many have accused Davido of being unpatriotic and painting Nigeria in a bad light. However, Ruggedman’s comments suggest that Davido’s words may have been taken out of context, and that the real issue lies with the government’s handling of the economy.
