Nigerian music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, are currently engaged in a war of words on social media.
The fight started after Reno linked the delay in his assumption of duty in Mexico to the ongoing FIFA World Cup. Reacting to Reno’s comment, Davido took to social media and insulted him. “Umu Bingo @renoomokri fowl,” Davido wrote.
In response, Reno shared screenshots of Davido’s remarks on his Instagram page on Tuesday and expressed disappointment over the singer’s reaction.
He wrote; “Dear Mr. David Adeleke AKA Davido, thank you for your feedback. I was rather surprised by your response to my post. Most shocking is your insult.”
“You are an international celebrity whom Nigeria is proud of. Coming to insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words should be beneath you. Yes, I’m aware that you were upset at my appeal to you not to use an international platform, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to give publicity to bandits and terrorists. I am also aware that Peter Obi praised you for doing that, which may have made you feel compelled to defend him.”
“I did that because while your intention may be good and you think you are pressuring the government, the actual effect of what you did is to give publicity to the terrorists and help them spread fear, recruit new members, and raise funds.”“Meanwhile, IShowSpeed an American at that same event used the global stage of the World Cup to market Nigeria by wearing the jersey and speak well about Nigeria.”
