Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo, has expressed support for singer Davido’s controversial comments about Nigeria’s economy.
According to a reporter, Davido made these remarks during his appearance on ‘The Big Homies House’ podcast in the US, where he discussed Nigeria’s struggles, saying, “It’s not great back home. The economy is in ruins.”
Davido made this statement while cautioning Black Americans against moving to Nigeria.
Davido’s comments, which upset many Nigerians, have sparked ongoing criticism, with some calling for an apology from him.
In response to the backlash, Kanayo defended the singer’s right to express his opinion, explaining that Davido’s remarks were meant to give voice to the poor Nigerians amid the country’s economic hardship.
In a video shared on Instagram Kanyo said; “@davido spoke his mind, isn’t it? Respect his views too. The Adelek’s can feed for life but it will be unholy if they assume all is ok because they are OK.
Make una leave Davido alone over the comments he made. It’s his right to freedom of speech, and he spoke in good faith. It’s now up to those in power to work harder for a better Nigeria.
Some people are calling for an apology, but for what? Those who criticize us want the best for us. Davido is speaking on behalf of Nigerians who are struggling to feed.”
