Nigerian-American musician Davido praised the candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on social media after the US presidential election, his fans were not pleased again.
Following Donald J. Trump’s presidential victory announcement on November 6, 2024, Davido praised Kamala Harris on X.
He wrote, “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump but you !! @KamalaHarris SHOULD BE PROUD!! YOU DID THAT ! A SOLID WOMAN.”
Trump, the Republican candidate, secured a landslide win against the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat candidate. Harris amassed 67,957,895 votes while Trump had 72,641,564 votes, securing his win.
Just as the day before, Davido’s post was met with outrage by some of his fans and other X users who called him out for voting in the US election and not the Nigerian presidential election, which took place in 2023.
An X user wrote, “But David, you didn’t vote during our own elections.”
“Lol hypocrite no go focus on your mid-sound,” said another angered X user, slamming the afrobeats artiste.
“Try Dey rest guy,” another comment read.
Another person appealed to the singer, saying, “Talk about Nigeria, bro.”
Trump’s win generated a range of responses on social media platforms worldwide. In order to formally begin the transition ahead of Inauguration Day, Harris called to congratulate him and concede him. Shortly after, Biden, the incumbent president, also contacted Trump to extend his congratulations and extend an invitation to the president-elect to visit the White House.
