Davido has pushed back against Nigerian rapper Erigga’s praise for musicians who made it without family money, arguing that coming from wealth does not stop an artist from grinding for success.
The disagreement started after Erigga took to X to salute musicians who had to build their careers without financial backing from their families.
Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.
Davido was quick to challenge the idea, pointing out that musicians from wealthy families can also put in the work to reach the top.
No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top.
The “Risky” hitmaker then took aim at Erigga’s message, branding it “useless motivation” and calling him an “imbecile.”
Davido then turned the conversation to his own financial ambitions, revealing that music may not be his forever plan and that he intends to pursue bigger financial goals.
No worry o I go soon leave their music for una go make my billions… then that shit gonna be boring AF.
