“I’m Igbo By Blood” – Davido Shuts Down Tribal Criticism By Yoruba Fan

Nigerian music star, Davido has responded to a tribal remark aimed at him on social media, revealing that he has Igbo roots.

The post suggested that Igbos would eventually turn on him, saying:
“Davido just dey carry Ibo full body, until when dem betray am before e rest.

“Yoruba boy dey frolick with Ibos in 2025, they want your head and everything you have to belong to them. You can never satisfy Ibos ooo. IBOs are not people you surround yourself with as a Yoruba man.”

Davido, whose grandmother is from Igbo origin, didn’t hesitate to clap back, saying: “Lol, I AM IGBO by blood.”
