Kanayo backs Davido’s controversial remarks on Nigeria’s economy


Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo has backed singer, Davido’s controversial remarks on Nigeria’s economy.


Newsmen reports that Davido had during his appearance on ‘The Big Homies House’ podcast in the US, highlighted Nigeria’s challenges, saying that “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles.”


Davido stated this while advising Black Americans against relocating to Nigeria.


His remarks which didn’t sit well with many Nigerians, have continued to be a subject of criticism, with some demanding an apology from him.


Responding to the controversy, Kanayo defended the singer’s right to free speech, stating that Davido made the comments to speak for the poor Nigerians amid the country’s economic hardship.


Kanayo in a video shared on Instagram 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 comment he made. It is freedom of speech and he made the statement in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria.


“Some people say he should apologize, for what? Those who criticize us want the best out of us. Davido speaks for other Nigerians who cannot feed.
