Afrobeats superstar Davido has stirred fresh reactions online after cleverly avoiding a tricky question during the Ride Along interview series.

Rather than naming either of his fellow superstars, Davido calmly said he would remove himself from the bus.
The moment quickly caught attention because it touched on the long‑running debates among Nigerian music fans about the so‑called Afrobeats Big 3.
For years, Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy have been placed side by side in endless comparisons, with supporters fiercely defending their favourites and sometimes turning minor issues into heated rivalries.
By choosing to take himself out of the scenario, Davido refused to add fuel to that fire.
The response the 5ive crooner gave to the controversial question sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians praising the move and describing it as a wise way of handling the pressure that comes with being one of the biggest names in Afrobeats.
On social media, fans called his reply a masterstroke in diplomacy, noting that it managed to ease tension without undermining Wizkid or Burna Boy.
The clip has since gone viral, with people saying it shows that the three stars can coexist without constant competition, and that Davido’s calm deflection was a reminder of the respect that binds the genre together.

Davido played it safe – Commentator
In a chat with Legit.ng, a social commentator who requested anonymity shared thoughts on the singer's response.
He stated:
"Davido really answered that question with wisdom. If he had chosen to remove either Wizkid or Burna Boy, people would have called him a proud person or a hater. Honestly, there shouldn't even be all this rivalry in our entertainment industry because each of them brings a different value and vibe to the fans. Instead of this constant 'I am better than you' comparison, they should be working together to push Afrobeats and the country forward. But knowing how much tension exists among their fanbases over who is the real number one out of the Big 3, Davido played it very safe. Whether he meant it or not, it shows maturity and humility to avoid unnecessary drama."

Davido shares how he handled Atlanta club owner
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Davido shared how he handled a club owner in Atlanta who once disrespected Nigerian music.
He recalled how the man stopped a DJ from playing African songs and also refused him entry into the club when he was younger.
Davido later said he charged the same owner heavily when he tried to book him years after and also mobilised his fans to react online, which changed how the club treated him.
