Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta claims Davido’s wealth and influence surpass his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke, emphasising age is just a number

Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has sparked debate by asserting that Nigerian singer Davido surpasses his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, in both wealth and influence.

The actor made this bold claim while addressing young people about respecting authority figures, regardless of their age.

Chatta shared his perspective during a recent discussion, where he highlighted the importance of achievements over age. Drawing parallels with historical figures, he stated, “Alexander the Great started ruling at 20 and died at 33.

Despite his young age, his accomplishments were unmatched by many older leaders like Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler.”

The actor argued that age is merely a number and that true respect should be based on accomplishments. He described Davido as an “elder” in his own right, citing the singer’s fame, fortune, and influence.

According to Chatta, the level of adoration Davido commands surpasses even that of his billionaire father.

“God purposely placed certain people in positions of authority, and it’s not about age. Any younger person possessing things typically associated with elders is an elder,” he explained.

The Nollywood star also reflected on his personal encounter with the singer. “I was amazed at the sheer number of people willing to do anything to get close to Davido. His presence commands a unique form of respect and loyalty.”

Chatta concluded by comparing the recognition Davido receives to that of his father. “If Davido’s father were to pass by, most people might not recognise him. But if Davido were to walk through, it could cause a stampede. His level of influence is extraordinary.”

Joeboy defends his music after being called “mid,” saying critics are unhappy with their own lives. He remains confident in his success

Nigerian artist Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus, better known as Joeboy, has hit back at critics who have labelled his music as “mid.”

The 26-year-old singer, who has garnered significant success in his career, shared his thoughts in a recent appearance on the ‘Backstage Banter’ podcast.

Joeboy, known for hits like “Baby” and “Alcohol,” addressed the growing social media criticisms, with many accusing his sound of being unremarkable.

Despite these comments, Joeboy firmly disagreed with the assessment, stating that there is nothing “mid” about him or his work.

“There is nothing ‘mid’ about my existence,” Joeboy asserted. “The fact that I have been able to get so far at such a young age in my career and still have my head on my shoulders is not ‘mid’ in any way.”

He went on to suggest that the people behind the criticisms were likely unhappy with their own lives. Joeboy explained,

“If you’re genuinely happy with your life, you would not pick up your phone and start attacking somebody. What exactly is ‘mid’? I think it was just a word that got too popular, and people just started using it.”

The singer’s remarks shed light on the toxic culture of online criticism that has become prevalent in the music industry and beyond.

Joeboy’s response demonstrates his confidence and resilience, highlighting that his achievements speak for themselves.

His words also sparked discussions among fans and critics alike, with many agreeing that the use of the term “mid” has become an overused way of expressing dissatisfaction.

Joeboy’s ability to stay grounded amidst the negativity serves as a testament to his professionalism and focus on his craft.
