Osun 2026: Davido Shares Positive Update After Calling for Trump’s Support, “Dem Don Reach Out”

• Music star Davido took to X on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, to suggest that American authorities had contacted him
• The update came after Davido publicly tagged US President Donald Trump over fears of violence in the Osun state election
• Fans and critics sharply divided over whether Davido's intervention as a US citizen could genuinely influence Nigeria's electoral process

Davido has set social media alight after suggesting that American officials reached out to him following his very public appeal to US President Donald Trump over the Osun state governorship election.

The Afrobeats superstar, whose real name is David Adeleke, posted on X on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, announcing the development with visible excitement. Davido had previously tagged Trump in a post expressing concern about potential violence ahead of the Osun election, where his uncle, Governor Adeleke, is seeking re-election.

"Dem don reach out ooooo 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 😀😀😀😀 DEY PLAY! U think the rest of the world is undemocratic like Una! Una go seee wetin something!" he wrote, appearing to suggest that his outreach to the American government had yielded a response.

Davido's US Citizenship at the Centre of Debate

The post quickly drew attention to Davido's dual status as both a Nigerian entertainer and a US citizen, with many online pointing out that American citizens typically receive diplomatic protections abroad.

Not everyone was impressed, however, with reactions split between those who saw the move as a bold use of influence and others who questioned its sincerity on X.
