Due to the significant impact he has over his fans, popular Nigerian artiste Davido has stated that he has opted to remain impartial in the country’s politics.
The Omo Baba Olowo singer claims that he has received criticism in the past for voicing his thoughts.
He said:
“The reason why I feel like they want people [celebrities] to speak is that they feel like we are publicists. First of all, they want to know our opinions.
Think about it, you are talking on Twitter, you’re a regular person you’re tweeting about politics. You’ve 1000 followers. If you tweet anything, what damage is it going to cost?
“But if I go and say my real mind, people that are not even thinking the same as me since they are fans will align with me. And I’ve spoken in the past about politics in Nigeria and I got bashed for it.”
