Afrobeats star Davido and Hausa praise singer Dauda Rarara trade public accusations after Rarara criticises Davido’s message at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Countdown Concert in Los Angeles on June 10. Davido wore a jacket reading “Bring Them Home” and displaying the names of more than 40 schoolchildren and teachers abducted in Oyo State on May 15, an attack in which some victims were killed and others remain in captivity. Supporters and some public figures praised Davido for drawing international attention to Nigeria’s insecurity crisis. Rarara, who appears aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), responds in a video describing the move as “barbaric” and arguing it could harm Nigeria’s image abroad. He also claims the gesture politicises the tragedy and undermines sensitive security operations, linking the abductions to actions involving terrorist leaders. The disagreement quickly becomes a social-media exchange: Davido responds on X with a mocking comment (“Debidooo”), while Rarara replies in Hausa, telling Davido to “come back to your senses,” and Davido further attacks Rarara’s understanding. The clash draws mixed reactions online, with debate split between those backing activism and those warning against airing security issues internationally.
