“It’s My Birthright” — Davido Fires Back at Critics Over Private Jet Lifestyle
Davido isn’t here for the hate—especially when it comes to his lifestyle.
After a wave of online backlash about his frequent use of his father’s private jet, the Afrobeats superstar made it clear he owes no one an explanation. In a recent tweet, he playfully responded to a user on X (formerly Twitter) who accused him of always showing off his wealthy background.
His reply? Classic Davido.
“This free jet wey I dey fly all around the world dey really pain una. I’m sorry it’s my birthright. In my next life, I go come back as vulcaniser. Ma binu,” he wrote, throwing shade with a bit of humor.
As the son of billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke, Davido has never shied away from acknowledging his privileged upbringing. But for him, that’s just the reality he was born into—and he’s not about to apologize for it.
This isn’t the first time the singer has stirred reactions online. Just days ago, he caught heat for tweeting “Happy Metal Day,” which some interpreted as a subtle nod to cultism. The post sparked criticism from followers who felt it was irresponsible and sent the wrong message.
Despite the backlash, Davido doesn’t seem fazed. Whether flying private or cracking jokes at his own expense, he continues to live life on his own terms—loud, proud, and completely unapologetic.
