In a clip that has since gone viral, a fan asked Davido directly about the hit South African drama. His response was swift. He said simply that he is not Jonasi. However, the pushback only added more fuel to an already playful online conversation.

Fans quickly pointed out the irony, since Davido had earlier reacted to the show himself, calling Jonasi’s behavior wild. As a result, viewers had already begun drawing comparisons before his official denial. Additionally, the timing made the exchange feel even more entertaining online.

The Polygamist Continues To Dominate Conversations

Jonasi Gomora is the central figure in The Polygamist, a Netflix series that opens at his funeral and unpacks the secrets left behind for his three partners and six children. Since its June release, the show has topped charts in South Africa and Kenya. Meanwhile, it has cracked the global top ten for non-English series.

Davido is married to singer Chioma Adeleke and has children from other relationships outside their marriage. Notably, that context is exactly why fans found the comparison so easy to make. Furthermore, the exchange shows just how deeply The Polygamist has embedded itself in pop culture conversations across the continent. AfrobeatsGlobal expects the jokes to keep rolling for a while yet.
