Headline: "Na You Cause This Wahala!" — Fan Begs Davido to Fly Commercial to ‘Humble’ Other Celebrities.

 

A hilarious plea to superstar Davido has gone viral after a fan jokingly begged him to lead a “protest” by flying commercial flights for a month — just to humble other Nigerian artists who now insist on only flying private jets.

In the Instagram story shared by Davido himself, the fan humorously wrote, “David please can you do a protest on behalf of we that book artist for gigs... just one month of you flying commercial flights... it will trend and humble every other artist because na you cause all this wahala!”

The fan’s message struck a funny chord with Davido, who responded with a laughing “Lmao” followed by a string of emojis, clearly amused by the idea. As one of Nigeria’s most high-flying artists, Davido is known for his frequent use of private jets, setting trends that others have quickly followed.

The message has since sparked laughs and commentary across social media, with fans chiming in on the challenges of booking artists who now expect VIP treatment — thanks, in part, to Davido’s star-level standards. Whether Davido will take the protest seriously is another story, but for now, it’s safe to say the internet is loving the cruise.

Some industry insiders speculated whether Davido might actually toy with the idea — not necessarily commit fully, but use a domestic or short leg commercial flight as a publicity stunt. After all, stunts, when done smartly, generate buzz — and buzz is currency in entertainment.  

For now, Davido’s "Lmao" leaves the idea in limbo — just one viral message floating in the digital sphere. But it’s also a reminder: in a world of extravagant expectations, even a fan’s joke can spark a conversation about balance, accessibility, and what being a superstar means in Nigeria.  

At the end of the day, it’s not certain whether Davido will heed the call, but the fan’s ask has already succeeded in something: getting Nigerians to laugh — and reflect — at the same time.

The message captures a broader frustration among event promoters, talent bookers, and fans who feel that the high expectations set by superstar artists create tension. When one top act demands private jets, upgraded hospitality, and special treatment, their peers often feel forced to match those standards.  

Nigerian entertainment circles have long debated the sustainability of such luxury. While the superstar-tier lifestyle garners attention and helps brand positioning, critics say it inflates cost structures for events and places undue pressure on upcoming artists. This fan’s plea cleverly reverses that equation — asking the top dog to lower the bar instead.  

Another layer to this joke‑turned-proposal is symbolism: using commercial flights is presented as a humble gesture, a reset of sorts. The fan envisions it trending, sending a message that status doesn’t always have to scream opulence. Humility, after all, sells too — especially when wielded with humor.  

Several social media users echoed the sentiment with memes and witty commentary. “Imagine the sight — Davido queuing for economy check‑in,” one tweet read. Others suggested he could alternate business and economy, just to stir the conversation even more.
