Afrobeats superstar Davido has responded sharply to a social media user who criticized him for sharing a photo of his breakfast meal online.
The singer posted a picture on Instagram Stories showing fried plantain, peppered meat, and eggs alongside a view of his living room. He captioned the post with a reference to turning on his fireplace as winter approaches. However, an X user reposted the image and suggested the content belonged on Snapchat rather than Instagram Stories.
Davido didn’t hold back in his response. The musician went off on the Twitter user who mocked him for posting the picture, calling out the comment that didn’t sit well with the global music star. In his reply, he expressed frustration at being told what to share on his own social media platforms, questioning why he couldn’t post a simple photo of his meal.
The incident highlights the ongoing tension between celebrities and social media critics over seemingly mundane content. While some fans defend artists’ rights to share personal moments, others believe high-profile figures should curate their posts more carefully.
This isn’t Davido’s first confrontation with online critics. The artist has previously stated his approach to dealing with trolls on social media. He mentioned that he chooses not to block critics because he wants them to see his success, though he won’t hesitate to respond forcefully when lines are crossed.
The exchange has sparked conversations about celebrity privacy and the pressure public figures face regarding their online presence. Some fans have rallied behind Davido, arguing that celebrities deserve the freedom to share everyday moments without facing judgment. Others contend that public figures should expect scrutiny for everything they post.
Social media platforms have become battlegrounds where artists frequently clash with users over content that ranges from personal achievements to simple lifestyle posts. The debate often centers on whether celebrities should maintain a certain image or be allowed to share authentic, unfiltered moments from their daily lives.
