Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has stirred reactions online after he publicly declared his allegiance to the United States of America.

The Unavailable crooner dropped the comment under the Instagram post of popular media personality, Tunde Ednut, who had just announced that he is now a US citizen. In response to the celebratory post, Davido wrote:

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”

Tunde Ednut, clearly excited, responded with, “@davido FELLOW CITIZEN, I LOVE YOU OBO!!!”

The comment section quickly became lively, as fans of the singer debated the meaning behind Davido’s pledge.

While some saw it as a lighthearted show of support, others questioned his patriotism, especially in light of recent political discussions.

Loyalty to US after Osun gov talks

Just days earlier, former senator Ben Murray-Bruce had publicly endorsed Davido for a political future, suggesting that the singer could one day become the Governor of Osun State.

Bruce highlighted the Adeleke family’s strong political background and Davido’s influence on Nigeria’s youth as major reasons for the endorsement.

Davido, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, is a dual citizen of Nigeria and the US. He has often spoken about his American background and regularly travels between the two countries.
