Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has once again sparked conversations online after explaining why he chooses not to block social media trolls despite their constant negativity.

 The singer, who remains one of Africa’s most influential entertainers, revealed that his decision is intentional and tied to his desire for critics to keep witnessing his growth and success story.

Taking to his official X account, Davido, who is not only a multiple award-winning musician but also a proud father of five, stated that blocking people would mean they would no longer have the opportunity to follow his journey. For him, allowing them to watch his progress serves as the best response to hate.

“Me I no dey block, I wan make you dey see my doings, but I go curse your papa,” he wrote in his usual witty style, making it clear that while he won’t silence trolls by shutting them out, he won’t hesitate to respond with sharp clapbacks when lines are crossed.

This revelation has generated widespread reactions on social media. Many of his fans commended him for his resilience and confidence, arguing that his approach shows a thick skin against negativity. 

Some noted that Davido’s strategy is a smart way to keep trolls engaged while proving that success remains the best revenge. Others, however, suggested that the singer’s comebacks sometimes fuel online drama and extend feuds unnecessarily.

Beyond the controversy, Davido has built a reputation for being outspoken and unafraid to share his unfiltered thoughts online.

 His presence on social media goes beyond music promotion; it has become an integral part of his brand. From playful banter with colleagues to heartfelt tributes to his late son, his posts often dominate trends and spark conversations across Nigeria and beyond.

This latest comment adds to the long list of reasons why Davido remains one of the most talked-about figures in the Afrobeats industry. While fellow stars like Wizkid and Burna Boy adopt a more private or reserved approach online, Davido has embraced social media as a stage where his personality shines just as much as his music.

For his supporters, his decision not to block trolls reflects his larger-than-life persona someone who thrives in the spotlight and refuses to let negativity dim his shine. For critics, it provides another reason to argue that the singer enjoys attention, whether positive or controversial.

Regardless of the debates, Davido’s stance underscores the reality of being a global celebrity in the digital age: constant scrutiny, endless commentary, and the delicate balance between ignoring hate and responding to it.

 His method may not work for everyone, but it aligns with the bold and fearless character he has consistently portrayed throughout his career.

As fans await his next musical release and watch him continue to headline major events across the world, one thing remains certain: Davido’s journey is unfolding before millions of eyes—including those of the very trolls he insists on keeping close.
