“Stop Monitoring My Net Worth,” Davido Warns Netizens
Afrobeat superstar Davido has issued a stern warning to netizens who are overly curious about his financial standing. In a recent post on X, the Nigerian singer advised his followers to stop trying to estimate his net worth, emphasizing that they would never get the figures right. His comment quickly ignited reactions across social media, with many weighing in on the topic.
“Stop watching my pockets, you won’t ever understand,” Davido wrote, addressing those who have taken it upon themselves to speculate about his finances. The statement drew a wide range of responses, with some users mocking him and suggesting that his wealth is largely due to his family’s fortune, while others questioned his financial stability.
The conversation escalated when a few of his critics seized the opportunity to take jabs at him. One user, @DanielRegha, offered unsolicited financial advice, saying, “Watching ur pockets, & rendering financial advice are two different things; It never hurts to put oneself on a budget, especially since no-one knows tomorrow. Life happens.” This comment, like many others, fueled the debate around Davido’s spending habits and how he manages his wealth.
Some fans, however, stood by the singer, defending him against the criticism. One follower, @lifeofolaa, commented, “Them wan count your money, them don forget say money na water,” suggesting that Davido’s financial success is far beyond the reach of those trying to calculate it.
The reactions weren’t all serious, as some users found humor in the situation. @RespiratoryDafe teased, asking, “OBO, how Yankee stadium go be on Saturday?” referring to one of Davido’s upcoming performances, while @wizkidfc_stated, “Your matter just dey make me laugh,” showing that for some, the singer’s financial situation isn’t a topic to be taken too seriously.
Despite the support from loyal fans, a few still doubted the authenticity of Davido’s wealth. One comment from @Philips_Teq sparked controversy by saying, “David, you don’t really have a pocket, na adeleke pocket you de use guide,” implying that his family’s fortune is the true source of his riches.
This isn’t the first time Davido has faced public scrutiny regarding his finances. As one of Nigeria’s most successful and well-known musicians, his wealth has frequently been a topic of conversation, with some attributing his financial success to his family’s influence, while others acknowledge his hard work in the entertainment industry.
Nonetheless, the singer seems unfazed by the speculation, focusing instead on his music career and upcoming performances. Davido’s playful yet pointed response suggests that he is uninterested in the opinions of those who doubt his financial status, choosing to focus on his own success rather than the public’s judgment.
