Davido leaves fans talking after surprising response to Tinubu posts

Afrobeats superstar Davido has quietly deleted two politically charged tweets that drew significant attention on Saturday, August 15, leaving fans and political observers asking questions.

In the first deleted tweet, the singer, whose full name is David Adeleke, wrote that his family would no longer be supporting any presidential candidate, tagging his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

A separate screenshot circulating online showed another deleted post directed at President Bola Tinubu, which read simply: "U no try @officialABAT."

Both posts were removed shortly after they went live, but not before thousands of users had already seen and screenshotted them.

Why the deleted tweets matter

Davido's family ties to Osun state politics make his online statements particularly significant.

Governor Adeleke's political alliance with Tinubu's administration has long been a subject of public discussion, and any hint of a family rift carries weight ahead of future elections.

The singer had previously made headlines for wading into the Osun political space, so the sudden deletion of both posts raised eyebrows among followers who had been watching his stance closely.
