03-09-2026
The current Davido-related trend on X is a heated clapback/beef with Nigerian rapper Erigga over “family money” vs. street grind. punchng.comOn September 1, 2026, Erigga posted: “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.” Many people read it as an indirect shot at Davido, whose father is a wealthy businessman and whose uncle is Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. punchng.comDavido quoted the post and fired back:“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.Comot here with that your useless motivation … imbecile.”He followed up with more posts, including “Ambassador for poverty ….” and “GOD FORBID .. GOD WILL NEVER GIVE U SUCH GLORY,” plus comments about eventually leaving music to “go make my billions.” legit.ngErigga responded with a series of posts, calling Davido “Ambassador of RICH KIDS” and “SLOVIDO,” asking “Na me you wan bully?” and saying not everyone in the industry is “slow.”The exchange has generated tens of thousands of posts, splitting fans between those who think Erigga’s original tweet was harmless motivation and those who say Davido overreacted because he felt personally targeted. It’s the main Davido conversation on X right now.
