Davido Fires Back at Critic Over Child Custody Battle

opera.com 2024/10/6

In the latest development in his ongoing child custody battle, Nigerian music superstar Davido has found himself at the center of a heated exchange. The controversy was sparked when an unidentified woman publicly accused the singer of using the tragic death of his child to gain sympathy.

The woman’s fiery statement, which quickly circulated on social media, read: "Don't use your deceased child to play victim! She raised a safety concern! Which is very very valid. She is fighting for her child!" Her comments referred to Davido's ongoing dispute with his ex-partner over the custody of their child, a case that has drawn significant public attention and media scrutiny.

Davido, known for his candid and often unfiltered responses, did not shy away from addressing the accusation. In a brief but pointed retort, he replied, "Make she keep am," a phrase in Nigerian Pidgin English roughly translating to "Let her have it." This response has since ignited further debate among fans and critics alike.

The singer's supporters have rallied behind him, defending his right to mourn and fight for his family without facing public judgment. On the other hand, critics argue that the woman’s safety concerns for her child are valid and should not be overshadowed by the personal tragedies of the involved parties.

This incident adds another layer to the already complex and emotionally charged custody battle. Davido, who has consistently been in the spotlight for both his musical achievements and personal life, now faces the challenge of navigating public opinion while handling deeply personal family matters.
