Afrobeats superstar Davido has criticised former presidential media aide Bashir Ahmad over comments relating to the upcoming Osun State governorship election.
The exchange began after Davido revealed on X that he witnessed a telephone conversation between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, describing the moment as “history.”
Reacting to the post, Bashir Ahmad said he had bookmarked it and expressed confidence that Davido would return to the platform to lament the outcome of the August 15 governorship election.
“This tweet is bookmarked. It will serve as a reference for future events. I know you will come back here to lament if the August 15 results don’t go your way,” Bashir wrote.
Davido fired back by mocking Bashir Ahmad’s performance in the APC primary election and further accused him of failing to make a meaningful impact on people in his community despite serving for eight years in the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“You got 16 votes, bro, in the primaries. STFU,” the singer wrote
Bashir replied: “We have talked enough about the number of votes I got in my primaries. Can we now talk about the number of Grammy Awards you have won from your five nominations, David?
Fair is fair.”
Davido countered: “You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
“You had government backing and still couldn’t convince enough people to back you in your small constituency. You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident.
“You spent 8yrs with the ex-president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty-stricken community.
“We all have different trophies, Bashir. I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs.”
