Davido mocks Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico Reno Omokri over explanation for not resuming duties in Mexico.

The exchange started when Omokri told a recent interview that his resumption was delayed due to the ongoing FIFA World Cup activities involving the United States and Mexico.

After the statement, Davido took to his social media to mock the former presidential aide.

Reacting on Instagram, Omokri shared screenshots of Davido’s post, described the singer’s comments as “feedback”, and considered the reaction surprising.

He also said Davido’s criticism could have been influenced by his earlier comments about the singer’s decision to wear a custom-made jacket with the names of the abducted Oyo State children while performing at a World Cup event.

“he said …

Thank you for your feedback Mr. David Adeleke AKA Davido. I was surprised at your response to my post. Most insulting of all is your insult.

“You are an international celebrity that Nigeria is proud of. You have to be ashamed to come and insult me on my Instagram profile with such vulgar words. I know you were upset with my appeal to you not to use an international platform, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to give publicity to bandits and terrorists. I also know you were praised by Peter Obi for doing that and that might have put you on defensive for him.

I did that because even though your intention may be good and you think you are pressuring the government, the actual effect of what you did is to give publicity to the terrorists and help them spread fear, recruit new members, and raise funds.

IShowSpeed, an American at that same event used the global stage of the World Cup to market Nigeria by wearing the jersey and speak well about Nigeria.
