Nigerian music superstar Davido is once again making waves—not just with his music, but with his unapologetic attitude toward online critics. This week, the Grammy conversation flared up again, with some fans of fellow artist Wizkid (a.k.a. Wizkid FC) taking to social media to mock Davido for not having a Grammy award. But if they expected silence, they clearly don’t know Davido.
The drama kicked off when a Twitter user asked: “You get Grammy or not? Answer mumu ”
Davido didn’t hesitate. His clapback? “Your papa give you better lifestyle or not? Answer mumu.”
The savage response quickly went viral, drawing laughs, applause, and a flood of reactions. Many praised Davido for flipping the insult and reaffirming his pride in his journey.
When another user mocked his relevance, tweeting, “ATTENTION wey no get GRAMMY ,” Davido fired back with a powerful statement: “I AM THE ATTENTION.”
Short, sharp, and striking—he didn’t need a song title or trophy to make his point. The internet lit up again.
Things got more personal when someone accused him of being privileged: “If no be silver spoon wey them born you with, two of us suppose dey same level by now.”
Davido didn’t hold back: “Nah your mama go knack wrong person no be my problem bro.”
Brutal? Yes. But it’s classic Davido—unfiltered, direct, and unbothered.
In yet another moment, someone accused him of chasing clout. His only reply? A lone bucket emoji . The cryptic response had fans debating its meaning, adding even more fuel to the trending topic.
Despite all the criticism, Davido’s confidence remains unshaken. He’s never hidden the fact that he comes from wealth. In fact, he’s said many times that it’s one of the reasons he gets so much hate. But for Davido, the hate only fuels the hustle. He keeps dropping hits, filling stadiums, and growing a global fanbase that doesn’t need a Grammy to recognize greatness.
At the end of the day, Davido’s message is loud and clear: awards don’t define the artist.
And as he put it best—he is the attention.
