Popular Nigerian singer Davido has responded to a tribalistic comment aimed at his close association with the Igbo community.
The comment, made by a social media user identified as Yakbel, criticized the Afrobeat star for “carrying Ibo people full body” despite being Yoruba. The user warned Davido of an alleged future betrayal, saying, “Yoruba boy dey frolick with Ibos in 2025… they want your head and everything you have to belong to them.”
Yakbel further claimed that “IBOs are not people you surround yourself with as a Yoruba man,” implying that Davido’s ties to the Igbo community were misplaced and dangerous.

In a swift and calm clapback, Davido debunked the tribalistic assumption with a simple, powerful response: “lol I AM IGBO by blood.” His statement highlights his mixed heritage and proudly reaffirms his identity beyond tribal lines.
The singer is married to an Igbo lady Chioma, one of his best friends Cubana Chief Priest, is Igbo. Recently, he entertained Igbo Highlife music legend Bright Chimezie in Lagos, whose music he claimed inspired his hit track with Omah Lay ‘With You.’
Davido’s response and lifestyle show that he cannot be swayed by ethnic sentiments.
