Nicki Minaj Praises Billionaire’s Son Davido, Fans Call It a Power Move!

Nicki Minaj set Twitter ablaze when she gushed over Nigerian superstar David Adedeji Adeleke, better known as Davido. Nicki, known for her razor-sharp bars and iconic fashion, called Davido "an incredible writer & melody maker" and revealed their "mutual respect" for each other. But fans aren’t buying the love fest, with many speculating that Nicki’s shoutout is a calculated move to cozy up to Nigeria’s elite.

Let’s not forget Davido isn’t just any Afrobeat star—he’s the son of billionaire mogul and Adeleke University president, Deji Adeleke. While Nicki says she asked him to join her track to add that “Afrobeat tempo/feeling,” fans on social media have gone wild, accusing her of trying to mingle with Naija’s billionaire crowd.

That man is an incredible writer & melody maker. It’s always a pleasure working with him b/c of our mutual respect for one another. I asked him to be apart of it in order to bring out the Afro beats
tempo/feeling in it a bit more.
