Nigerian music superstar Davido Adeleke recently made headlines after proclaiming himself as the “King of Nigeria” during a chance meeting with an alleged Saudi Arabian Prince in France. The encounter, captured in a viral video circulating on social media, shows Davido exchanging greetings with familiar faces in Paris before being introduced to the Arab dignitary.
In the video, Davido confidently introduced himself as the King of Nigeria before posing for photos with the Saudi Prince. His statement quickly sparked a flurry of reactions online, with some fans praising his boldness, while others felt he may have overstepped.
One X user, @JrBurna098765, questioned the claim, writing, “Who dash you King of Nigeria? You’re chasing a title no one gave your father.” Meanwhile, another user, @gaustinto1, praised Davido’s networking skills, commenting, “Now this is how connections are built. Got those digits asap.”
This comes after Davido recently opened up about how his personality has evolved since his marriage to Chioma Rowland-Adeleke, which has kept him in the spotlight for various reasons.
