The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, shared a repost of a clip showing IShowSpeed receiving a massage from several women while on tour in West Africa. The original video quickly went viral across social platforms, especially among fans following the streamer’s African experience.
When Davido reshared the clip on his Instagram Stories, he added a humorous caption and tagged his wife, Chioma Rowland, seemingly asking for her approval to try a similar experience. His message read like a lighthearted joke between partners, but screenshots of the post soon made their way to X (formerly Twitter), where reactions poured in from Nigerian users.
Social Media Divided Over Davido’s Comment
While many fans saw Davido’s post as harmless banter, others felt the joke crossed a line, particularly because of his public image as a married man. Some users described the caption as unnecessary or inappropriate, while others dismissed the backlash as overreaction to celebrity humor.
The debate quickly split into two camps. One side argued that Davido should be more mindful of how his words appear in public, especially given how closely fans watch his relationship with Chioma. The other side defended the artist, calling the moment “cruise” and typical of internet culture, where jokes are often taken too seriously.

Davido and IShowSpeed’s Growing Connection
The post also drew attention to Davido’s growing relationship with IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr. The streamer has been touring Africa and connecting with major stars across Nigeria and Ghana.
Earlier in January 2026, Davido surprised IShowSpeed with a FaceTime call during one of his live streams to celebrate Speed’s 21st birthday. During the call, Davido congratulated him on surpassing 50 million YouTube subscribers and hinted at a possible future collaboration in the United States.
Their interactions have been closely followed by fans, especially as Afrobeats continues to gain global traction through cross-cultural links like this.
The Bigger Conversation About Celebrity Culture
The reaction to Davido’s Instagram post highlights a larger conversation in Nigeria about celebrity behavior, marriage, and the blurred line between private jokes and public messaging. As one of Africa’s most visible music stars, Davido’s social media activity is constantly scrutinized, even when it is meant to be lighthearted.
In today’s digital age, every post from a public figure can be interpreted in multiple ways. For Davido, the moment shows how quickly humor can become headline material and how fans remain deeply invested in both his career and his personal life.
Whether seen as innocent fun or unnecessary drama, the episode once again proves that when Davido speaks online, the internet listens.
