Afrobeats megastar David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has become the subject of online buzz after revealing a peculiar message he received from a fan on Instagram.
On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the singer shared a screenshot of the direct message via his Instagram story.
In it, a follower appealed to him to “stage a protest” by flying only commercial flights during his upcoming Nigerian tour.
The sender argued that Davido’s consistent use of private jets had created pressure in the industry, making it difficult for promoters and commercial airlines to compete.
According to the message, if Davido temporarily ditched private jets for one month, it would not only trend but also “humble every other artist.”
The fan’s message partly read:
“David please can you do a protest on behalf of we that book artists for gigs and on behalf of people that commercial planes in general… just one month of you flying commercial flights for this your 9ja tour… it will trend and humble every other artist because na you cause all this wahala so you must reverse am.”
Davido’s reaction to the unusual appeal was short and playful. His only response in the screenshot was:
“Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂”
The post, which quickly went viral, has sparked conversations about the influence of celebrity lifestyles on industry standards, especially in Afrobeats, where image and status often go hand in hand with artistry.
While fans don’t expect Davido to actually take up the suggestion, his lighthearted response highlights the unique bond he maintains with followers who often feel free to make bold and sometimes humorous requests.
