Davido, the Afrobeats star, has come under intense criticism on social media for participating in the 2024 US presidential election.

Donald Trump defeated Vice-President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party on Wednesday to win the US presidential election.

But on Tuesday, Davido shared a photo of himself holding a sticker that reads “I am a Georgian voter. I secured my vote”.

The singer also expressed his enthusiasm as a “first-time voter in the US”.

However, many Nigerians have called him out for being “hypocritical,” alleging that he never voted in Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.

Some users argued that Davido’s sudden interest in voting in the US election seems like a bid for validation from Americans.

Others defended Davido’s right to vote in the US election, citing his citizenship as a valid reason. They argued that it was his civic duty to participate in the democratic process, regardless of his nationality.

“This guy is a hypocrite, you’ve never voted in any presidential election in Nigeria, but now you’re seeking validation from Americans,” a user wrote.

Another user added: “When it concerns Nigeria, you will never see them. The only time they are interested is when they can chase clout with it. Yeyebrities.”
