“Una Dey Mad or Wetin?” — Davido Fires Back After X User Criticizes Him for Posting His Food Online

In what has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments on social media this week, award-winning Nigerian singer Davido has lashed out at an X (formerly Twitter) user who criticized him for sharing a picture of his meal — plantain and eggs — on his Instagram story. The exchange, which started innocently enough with a food post, turned into a heated online confrontation that left fans divided and social media buzzing.

It all began when Davido, known for his lively social media presence and often lighthearted engagement with fans, posted a simple picture of his breakfast — a plate of plantain and eggs — on his Instagram story. The post was typical of Davido’s casual updates, offering fans a glimpse into his day-to-day life. However, one X user decided to take issue with it, sparking an unexpected reaction from the singer.

The X user, identified as @IkaIwe, reposted the photo and wrote, “This type of thing should be going on his Snapchat. Put on the fireplace today. Winter is upon us.” The comment, which seemed to mock Davido’s choice of platform for the post, quickly gained traction among online users, many of whom found it humorous. But Davido was clearly not amused.

Responding directly to the comment, Davido fired back on X, saying, “Ur very std… nah u go tell me wetin to do with my life? I never see this kind thing before… I can’t post my plantain n eggs again… wtf y’all be on fr.” The response instantly went viral, amassing thousands of reactions within minutes as fans and critics alike jumped into the discussion.

The phrase “Ur very std” — which many interpreted as “You’re very stupid” — set the tone for what became a fiery back-and-forth between Davido’s supporters and his detractors. Some users applauded the singer for defending himself, arguing that celebrities have every right to live their lives freely without constant scrutiny. Others, however, accused Davido of overreacting, suggesting that the user’s comment was harmless banter that didn’t warrant such a strong clapback.

The online debate highlighted the growing tension between celebrities and fans on social media, especially on X, a platform notorious for its raw and unfiltered commentary. Davido, who has over 14 million followers on Instagram and a massive presence on X, has often been at the center of online controversies. Yet, this incident stood out for its sheer triviality — a global superstar being dragged for something as simple as posting his food.

Many fans pointed out that the criticism reflected the entitlement some social media users feel toward celebrities, acting as though they have a say in how public figures should live or express themselves. “This man can’t even post his breakfast in peace again,” one fan wrote. “Na plantain and egg turn national issue now?” Another user added, “People forget Davido is a human being too. You can’t tell him where to post his food. The hate is too much sometimes.”

On the flip side, some users accused Davido of being too sensitive and unable to handle jokes. “You’re a global star,” one critic said. “You can’t be replying every troll on the internet. They win when you give them attention.” Still, Davido’s loyal fanbase, the 30BG, flooded the comments in his defense, telling haters to “leave OBO alone.”

The clash also reignited discussions about celebrity privacy in the social media era. While platforms like Instagram and Snapchat are meant for personal expression, the line between public and private has blurred for many stars. Every post, no matter how ordinary, is dissected and debated by millions. For someone like Davido — who is used to being in the spotlight for his music, philanthropy, and sometimes controversial personal life — even a harmless post about food can turn into a full-blown trending topic.

Interestingly, some social media analysts noted that the situation also revealed how Nigerian celebrities are increasingly becoming more candid and unfiltered online, moving away from the polished, media-trained responses of the past. “Davido’s response wasn’t PR-curated; it was raw, real, and human,” one commentator wrote. “That’s why people love him — he’s not afraid to speak his mind, even when it ruffles feathers.”

The artist’s reaction also sparked a wave of memes across social platforms, with users humorously recreating Davido’s plate of plantain and eggs, labeling it “the most controversial breakfast of 2025.” Some even joked that the meal should be trademarked since it had “caused more drama than some celebrity beefs.” Others turned the incident into a mini trend, posting pictures of their own food with captions like “Don’t attack me like Davido.”

By evening, Davido’s name was trending on X across Nigeria and even parts of the UK and US, with hashtags like #Davido and #PlantainandEggs dominating conversations. Even fellow celebrities joined the conversation — some subtly shading the situation while others laughed it off. One of his colleagues reportedly wrote, “Only Davido can post plantain and break the internet.”

Despite the heated exchange, Davido did not delete his original story or his response on X, signaling that he stood firmly by his words. His reaction was a reminder that, despite his fame, he remains an artist deeply in tune with the realities of online culture — one who refuses to let faceless critics dictate how he expresses himself.

Beyond the humor and chaos, this incident underscores a deeper conversation about the unrealistic expectations placed on public figures. In a world where every move is analyzed and often criticized, even something as ordinary as sharing a meal becomes an act of defiance. Davido’s post may have been about food, but his clapback was a statement — one that says, “I’m still human, and I’ll do me.”

Social media thrives on drama, and Davido’s breakfast post became another reminder of how easily conversations can spiral online. What started as a lighthearted Instagram story ended up being a viral moment dissected by millions. But perhaps, at its core, this episode just shows that even megastars like Davido aren’t immune to the pettiness of the internet age.

As fans continue to laugh, debate, and meme the situation, one thing remains clear: Davido’s plantain and eggs have made history — not for their taste, but for how they sparked one of the funniest and most unexpected social media moments of the year. Whether people side with him or not, the singer’s bold response has once again proven why he remains one of the most authentic voices in Nigerian entertainment.

Davido’s final word may as well echo in the minds of his followers for weeks to come: “I can’t post my plantain n eggs again? Wtf y’all be on fr.” And with that, breakfast — quite literally — became a trending topic.
