Nigerian-American Afrobeats star Davido has faced backlash from fans after excitedly announcing that he participated in the ongoing presidential election in the US.

As election day dawned in the US on November 5, 2024, Davido took to X to post a picture of him holding his ‘I voted’ sticker, happily announcing that he exercised his civil right for the first time ever.

However, his post was not well received by many Nigerians, who accused him of not being as vocal about the Nigerian presidential elections in 2023 as he is now. Outraged, scores of X users took to his comment section to call him out for reportedly not voting in Nigeria.

Because the singer said he voted for the first time, he was accused of hypocrisy by his fans and other X users.
