Legendary rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has fiercely defended Afrobeats star Davido amidst backlash over his remarks on Nigeria’s economy.
Davido recently faced intense criticism after cautioning Americans against relocating to Africa, particularly Nigeria, describing the nation’s economy as being in a “shamble” during a podcast interview.
His candid observation sparked heated debates across social media platforms.
Addressing the controversy, Ruggedman declared Davido’s statement to be spot on and directed his criticism toward the government.
He called on authorities to address the nation’s economic woes, emphasizing that fixing the economy would prevent similar critiques in the future.
On his X handle, the rapper remarked, “Ok, Davido has said what he said, moving forward the government should fix Nigeria so nobody will say such again. All this barking all over the place is not fixing the nation. The hardship is too much.”
