Davido: Nasty Blaq decries ‘excessive disrespect’ online

By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Popular Nigerian skit maker, Nasty Blaq, has expressed his dismay over the increasing online criticism directed toward award-winning singer Davido.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Blaq stated that the singer and DMW record label founder has been receiving an excessive level of “disrespect” from social media users.

In his post, Nasty Blaq shared concerns that Davido’s generosity was being exploited. “The disrespect Davido is getting is way too much sha,” he wrote. “Man just wants to help people, and that’s all.”

The skit maker’s comments followed an online call-out by content creator Korty EO, who accused Davido and his team of instructing her not to release an interview video she filmed with the singer.

According to Korty, Davido’s team initially granted her permission to post the interview but later requested that she refrain from sharing it without providing clear reasons.

Korty expressed frustration on her X handle, noting, “They [Davido’s team] agreed that I should re-edit this video and now have said I must not post the video for reasons I still don’t understand. I am not scared of anyone, but I am wise enough to stay out of battles I’m not equipped for.”

Korty’s statements also reflected a trend of artists retracting their approval for interviews. “I’ve filmed so many artists who eventually tell me not to post the video,” she said, adding, “If you don’t want people to see you for who you are, please do not come on my show. Stop wasting my time.”
