Afrobeats star shrugs off backlash with humor, defends flying private as his “birthright”
Nigerian music icon Davido set Twitter ablaze with a now-viral quip about his hypothetical next career. The billionaire’s son responded to critics mocking his private jet lifestyle with a tongue-in-cheek promise: “In my next life I go come back as vulcanizer [tire repairer].”
The “Unavailable” hitmaker fired back at social media trolls in his signature playful style, mixing pidgin English and emojis to address the ongoing debate about his privileged upbringing. His full tweet read:
“This free jet wey I dey fly all around the world dey really pain una… I’m sorry it’s my birthright. In my next life I go come back as vulcanizer ma binu [don’t be angry]. 3rd ✈️ on the way btw.”
The 31-year-old artist’s response has racked up thousands of likes and retweets, with fans praising his ability to address criticism with humor rather than hostility. Many have turned his “vulcanizer” line into a trending meme, joking about the superstar’s imagined future life fixing tires by the roadside.
This isn’t the first time Davido has faced scrutiny over flaunting his family’s wealth. As the son of billionaire Adedeji Adeleke, he’s frequently been the subject of online debates about privilege versus self-made success in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
The Grammy-nominated singer’s latest clapback shows he’s perfected the art of responding to critics without losing his cool – and maybe even hinting that a third private jet could soon join the Adeleke family fleet.
For now, fans are too busy laughing at the image of one of Africa’s biggest music stars reincarnated as a roadside mechanic to stay mad about his private jet privileges.
