Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo has backed singer, Davido’s controversial statement on Nigeria’s economy.
Daily Sun reports that Davido during his appearance on ‘The Big Homies House’ podcast in the US, highlighted Nigeria’s issues, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles.”
He also advised Black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria.
His statements, which offended some Nigerians, have continued to be criticized, with some calling for an apology from him.
Kanayo responded to the incident by defending the singer’s right to free expression, claiming that Davido made the words to speak for poor Nigerians during the country’s economic crisis.
Kanayo in a video shared on Instagram said; “@davido spoke his mind, isn’t it not? 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.”
