He jokingly warned Davrel against pressing him on the matter, threatening to "slap" him if he kept going, before settling into a more serious clarification.
Davido Confident in His Catalog
According to Davido, his original comments were never about any one artist in particular. He explained that he was simply expressing confidence in the depth and quality of his music catalogue, and that he stands by his ability to match anyone in the industry on the strength of his hits alone.
To drive the point home, the singer went further, stating he would put $1 million on the line for anyone who genuinely believes they have more hits than him.

Davido accused of emotional blackmail
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Afrobeats star Davido was accused of using emotional manipulation to sway voters ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
On August 10, 2026, X user Senior Pst Okezie James Atañi criticised Davido’s post urging residents to reject the APC, calling it “emotional blackmail” and highlighting the Adeleke family’s deep political ties.
The viral infographic underscored the family’s influence in Osun politics as Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, sought re-election under the Accord Party against APC challenger Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.
