“When I Am Around Igbo, All I Get is Joy, Love, and How to Make Money” — Singer Davido Emotional Tribute to His L&te Mother Sparks Controversy Online 

Nigerian superstar Davido has stirred emotions and conversation online after revealing how his late mother’s words still guide him today, especially when it comes to his identity as an Igbo man. In a heartfelt post, the music icon reflected on a lesson he learned at just 10 years old, showing just how deeply his mother shaped his values and drive for success.

According to him: 

“I was 10 years old when my late mother told me this; David Obim, you will achieve great things but will grow Greater if you keep in touch with my people. They will teach you how not to depend on your father’s wealth but also grow your own.

When I say; I am Igbo, it goes beyond just words but spiritual. When I am around Igbo, all I get is joy, love, and how to make more money.

I love you, mummy”

This emotional tribute didn’t just honor his late mother — it sparked pride among Igbos and debate across social media. Fans praised the strong maternal wisdom, while others questioned the focus on “money” in a cultural context. Either way, one thing is clear: Davido’s roots run deep, and his mother’s voice still echoes in every step he takes.
