Paulo Defends Davido Against Critics Over Comments On Nigeria’s Troubled Economy

Popular music promoter, Paulo Okoye has spoken out in defense of Afrobeats superstar Davido, who faced criticism from Nigerians after commenting on the country’s struggling economy.

In a recent interview, Davido had advised African Americans planning to relocate to Nigeria, cautioning them about the challenges back home. He highlighted the poor state of the economy, among other issues.

Davido’s remarks sparked backlash, particularly from some politicians and Nigerians who disagreed with his assessment.

In his reaction, Paulo Okoye defended the singer, urging critics to back off. He stated that Davido only spoke the truth, emphasizing that the country’s economic situation is undeniably dire.

Paulo wrote, “Please Make Una leave Davido alone mad people Davido spoke the truth. Nigeria’s current economic state is Sooo bad . With global companies leaving and local businesses facing significant losses, it’s clear we’re facing challenges. Let’s acknowledge the reality and work towards a better future. God bless Nigeria = PaulO”
