"We Have the Worst Governments" — Davido Slams Nigerian Leadership, Applauds Entertainment for Global Rebrand

"We Have the Worst Governments" — Davido Slams Nigerian Leadership, Applauds Entertainment for Global Rebrand

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is making waves — not just with his music but with his bold words on governance in Nigeria. In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, the singer candidly criticized Nigeria’s leadership, while hailing the entertainment industry as a beacon of hope in reshaping the country’s image on the global stage.

“We don’t have the best leaders. We have the worst governments,” Davido said. “But the music and entertainment industry in general has impacted our country’s image abroad positively.”

From filling arenas to topping charts worldwide, Nigerian artists like Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Tems have turned the nation’s creative exports into a global goldmine — a stark contrast to the socio-economic and political struggles back home.

He added that Nigeria has become a cultural destination thanks to the influence of music and arts.

“Last December, there were more Americans than Nigerians in Lagos. I was like, what are y’all doing here?” Davido joked. “Back in the day, we used to be excited to go to America. Now, they are coming to us.”

He further noted that the cultural shift isn’t limited to music. At global events like Paris Fashion Week, Africans are dominating both runways and creative roles — from models to designers.

Our Take:

Davido’s remarks echo a powerful truth — while Nigerian governance struggles to inspire, the entertainment industry is carrying the nation’s flag with pride and progress. It’s no small feat that Afrobeats has become a cultural bridge, attracting global tourism, investment, and admiration, even as citizens battle fuel scarcity, inflation, and insecurity.

It’s a bittersweet reality: while the leaders fail, the artists lead — showing what’s possible when talent meets global ambition.
