Davido Can Win Governorship Election, Burna Boy Can’t – Veteran Singer, Seyi Sodimu Says

Veteran Nigerian musician Seyi Sodimu has weighed in on the impact and influence of the so-called Afrobeats “Big 3” — Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

Speaking in a recent episode of the What I Know podcast hosted by Korty EO alongside Shaffy Bello, the Love Me Jeje crooner stated that the Big 3 all wield different kinds of influences.

He explained that Wizkid has special influence, Burna Boy has purely musical influence while Davido’s influence surpasses music.

He claimed that Davido can win a governorship election due to his influence but Burna Boy can’t due to the kind of influence he wields.

“The [Afrobeats] Big 3, each one is doing it [music] for different reasons. Burna Boy has conquered the stage. And he is good. Wizkid is special. And Davido surpasses music.

“What do I mean by that? If Davido ran for governor today, he would win. But I don’t think Burna Boy could win as a governor,” he said.

This is not the first time a public figure would be tipping Davido for governorship position.

Last year, a former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Ben Maurice Bruce, claimed that Davido would one day become the governor of Osun state.

Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor of the state.

In a post shared on her page, Anu said she was deeply hurt by Davido’s reaction, stating that she felt bullied and emotionally affected by the way he addressed her and her mother online.

She explained that her intention was only to confirm her identity, not to create trouble or attract public drama.

I’m Not Your Father – Davido Denies Paternity Claim Of Alleged Daughter, Rejects DNA Test Appeal

Grammy-nominated singer Davido has denied being the father of a teenage girl, Anu, who claims he is his child.

In a statement on social media, Davido rejected Anu’s claims and accused her mother of being an “obsessed fan” who is manipulating her daughter.

Anu posted a message on Instagram requesting a DNA test to establish her identity.

She shared her struggles with bullying and mental anguish, saying classmates mocked her claims of being Davido’s daughter.

Anu wrote: “This year I become a teenager. My mom and grandma have always educated me on being a responsible teen. No drugs, alcohol, bad company and bad behavior. Today I drafted a letter I wrote from the depth of my heart not with help from my relatives.

“As I grow older I want to establish my identity. I was bullied in school since I was 6-year-old and cried home daily. Other students laughed at me when I told them my father was Mr David Adeleke. I went through a lot of mental anguish and visited a medical professional to protect my mental health. It was a sad challenging time in my life.

“This page was not online for 5 years as my mom never updated this account since it was handed over to us. We went through a lot. Despite the challenges, I still excelled to the top of the class and became the class prefect. We posted some of my report cards on this page. Now that I’m in secondary school and still excelling in my studies, I don’t talk about my family history anymore.

“However on that note as I transition into a young woman, I am respectfully asking Mr David Adeleke Singer @davido for a DNA test to establish my identity. This test is between my dad and I. It is something I want. It is something that’s the right thing to do. Please sir, consider my request once you read this post. I also sent it to your DM.


“Thank you to all Nigerians who have given me emotional support for the last 7 years. This DNA test is the right thing to do for me.”

However, Davido said he has already undergone five DNA tests, all of which were negative, and challenged Anu’s claims.

The singer expressed frustration and disappointment, saying he’s chosen three hospitals for the tests, and Anu’s team chose two, all with the same negative result.

“I’VE TAKEN 5 DNA TESTS ALL NEGATIVE I AM NOT YOUR FATHER … NEVER EVEN MET UR MOM .. SHES AN OBSESSED FAN LYING TO YOU … THIS NEEDS TO STOP I ACTUALLY HAVE CHILDREN .. STOP THIS NONSENSE. Yes I chose 3 hospitals and they chose their own two hospitals .. all came out Negative .. “

Davido threatened to take action against Anu’s mother, saying she needs to be held accountable.

“This is the last time I’m speaking on this nonsense. Never met the bitch … except when went For the DNA … very stupid behavior I will soon treat their FK … 5 fucking hospitals just to be clear .. the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl ..”,
he added.
