Afrobeats superstar Davido has made a surprising revelation about his heritage after clapping back at a tribal troll on social media.
The incident began when an X user (@Yakbel) warned the Yoruba-born singer about associating with Igbo people, claiming: "You can never satisfy Ibos...they want your head and everything you have."
Davido, born David Adeleke, responded definitively: "Lol. I am Igbo by blood," shutting down the divisive commentary about his friendships and business relationships.

While the 31-year-old hasn't elaborated further, his statement has sparked discussions about Nigeria's complex ethnic identities. Davido's late mother Vero Adeleke was of mixed Igbo-Yoruba heritage, though he was raised primarily in the Yoruba culture by his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke.
Fans have praised the "Unavailable" crooner for rejecting tribal stereotypes, with many noting his longstanding collaborations with Igbo artists like Peruzzi and collaborations with eastern-based producers.
