US Reached Out After Osun Election Warning — Davido

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed that the United States government contacted him after he raised concerns over Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.

The singer had earlier appealed to US President Donald Trump to pay attention to the situation in Osun, warning of possible violence, intimidation and disruption of the electoral process ahead of the poll.

Hours after his appeal, the singer returned to his X account to announce that US officials had reached out to him.

“Dem don reach out ooooo. DEY PLAY! U think the rest of the world is undemocratic like Una! Una go see something,” he wrote.
