It’s almost like every other day that someone attacks Davido on Twitter because of his father’s wealth. Sometimes they tweet at him, and other times, they sub him. No matter what he does or accomplishes, there are people who believe that it’s only because he’s an omo baba olowo (rich man’s son).
And you know my our people, they go above and beyond to tell a celebrity what they think of him/her, even if it’s not positive. I am all for calling a celebrity out when he/she does something wrong, but I don’t really understand the bit of just being evil and vindictive. Having read so many of Davido’s tweets and responses to these people who don’t care for him because his father is rich, I have thought critically about it and come up with a list of top 10 reasons why they attack him (and his father’s wealth):
1. They’re bitter
2. They’re bitter
3. They’re bitter
4. They’re bitter
5. They’re bitter
6. They’re bitter
7. They’re bitter
8. They’re bitter
9. They’re bitter
10. They’re bitter
I don’t know about everyone else, but one of my children’s many titles will be Omo Baba Olowo (and Omo Mama Olowo). Why not? Why shall I shy? And when our wealth and power advance our children’s lives, then we would have fulfilled the purpose for which we toiled so much. Right now, Igwe and I are having to toil and sweat, and what is it all for? It’s for us to have a better life, and for our children, children’s children, and children’s children’s children to not have to toil like us. If we had rich parents, we wouldn’t have to work so hard. Maybe when we were done with University, we would have had jobs waiting for us. Maybe Verastic would have started working with brands long before now.
I don’t know if Davido’s father’s wealth advanced his son’s career in anyway, but if it did, isn’t that a good thing? Should his father not be proud that he has made yet another significant difference in his son’s life? If you find yourself not liking Davido for having a rich father, the questions you should ask yourself is If you e-mailed me recently and I have not responded, please forgive me. I’ve been swamped. But I’ll get to it, I promise. (1) Why isn’t your father rich? (2) What was your father doing while Davido’s father was becoming rich, (3) And if your father is already rich, then you should ask yourself: why isn’t he more like Davido’s father?
The reason why I believe that these people are bitter is because I don’t know of a single person who wouldn’t want to have more money or at least a father (family) that has more money. Even the already wealthy people wouldn’t mind having more wealth. If you come from a rich home, life doesn’t automatically become a walk in the park, but it does make many things easier. For starters, you wouldn’t have to worry about food on your plate, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, or your school fees. And when you are an adult, there are big and little things that your family can do to make your life better. Who wouldn’t want this?
You have to ask yourself a question (and answer honestly): His father’s money aside, is he talented? Yes. Big, fat yet. The boy releases hit after hit, and isn’t that what artists and entertainers aim to do? It just feels like people want to wealth-shame him, and I don’t understand what that’s all about. And let’s not forget that this young man is just that: a young man. He’s not even 21 yet.
Unfortunately, neither the Omo Baba Olowo nor the Baba Olowo himself paid me for this post. This is all my opinion. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
I think David o feels entitled. from what I’ve seen sha. that’s my opinion. stories I’ve heard of him from friends in Babcock really does nothing forr him.
but that’s just me.
And it’s okay to have your opinion. For me, I know nothing of his character. My post is based only on people trying to wealth-shame him as if coming from a rich family is a bad thing.
People are always entitled to their own opinion. I feel people should mind their business and make their own money, they may never be as rich or successful as he is but they should be able to leave their mark on the world
Thank you. And I agree with you. Everyone should be endeavoring to make their own money.
Well I think people should allow Davido to be the boy.discovered his passion and followed it ,…u all “badbelle peeps” I think your passion is jealousy and it does one no good rather brings you down so I would advice you find another passion and peharps it wd pay you.
Lol. Thank you, Ugo.
All I know is I don’t agree with the ‘talented’ part of this post. Simples.
Lol. That’s perfectly okay.
Vera has done it again…Very funny but true! I just cant make any sense out of why their hating the poor boy.
Thank you, earniewhine. Glad you enjoyed it 😉
Vera, what’s happening on line 4 paragraph 2 (after the top 10)…..or is it me?
It must be you oh. Can’t see anything, and no one else has complained
Vera, I Don’t care what you say. I do not care for the boy. He appears arrogant to me. It’s not about his father’s money. I just cant stand the part that he flashes money and tries to dress/ act like American thugs. Thats just not cute to me. My opinion.
Lol. Solachi leave me alone oh! I have told you this ain’t about you! Yeye
The good thing about Davido is that even with his fathers riches, he is doing what he loves and making a name and more money for himself. So whats this crap about his fathers money. If this bitter people are Adelekes,(Davidos name) they’ll go to school waste their fathers money and come back to work in their fathers company.
P.S- Davido isnt doing that!
Gbam!!! I really commend him for that cause he could be working in his father’s office and making money
Many rich men children depend on their daddy’s wealth to survive in life but davido despite his daddy’s wealth struggle with his last sweat to make his own name infact he is a good ambassador of youths worthy to emulate his solid determination, is not easy cus it takes a bold heart and hardwork to climb to the sky, haters pocket ur opinion cus he is damn too busy to notice ur crap opinion…keep the flame burning God dey ur back.Davido….
Thank you for reading and commenting, Julieth.
People should come to understand that being wealthy does not mean you automatically get a walk in the park, his fathers money did not give him any talent, i am not saying his ability to becoming succesfull was not considerably made easier by his fathers money but he has worked really hard to acquire his fame and reach the quality of music he produces so my advice would be for people to work hard to make their kids lives considerably easier, attacking his fathers wealth does not help you in anyway because he is becoming considerably wealthier as you are hating on him. Thank you for reading
Any one that is saying negative things about Davido for whatever reason is confused and does not know the step to follow and make it big like the big boy “DAVIDO”. Even without the wealth of Davido’s father, he would have made it big in the music industry cos he is talented and it is obvious he does not depend on his father’s wealth to survive.
