Nigerian singer Fido has issued an apology after generating backlash for mocking Davido’s fan base.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy began when Fido referred to Davido’s supporters as “Osakpolo FC,” following the success of his own song, which temporarily surpassed one of Davido’s tracks on the charts. The remark was widely seen as a dig at the superstar and drew criticism from fans and peers in the music industry.

In his apology, Fido acknowledged that the rapid rise to stardom led him to make mistakes influenced by ego, excitement, and inexperience. He admitted that some of his words and actions were wrong and expressed regret for disappointing fans, fellow artists, and the global Afrobeats community.

He explained that he chose to step back, reflect, and learn from the incident, noting that admitting mistakes and retracing steps is part of personal growth and maturity. Fido promised that his upcoming music would reflect this evolution, coming from a more honest and grateful place.

In a detailed post on , he wrote:

“There’s no easy way to write this, so I’ll just say it plainly. I messed up.
Stardom came into my life quickly. One minute I was dreaming about it, the next I was living it. While the world watched me grow, I was still trying to understand who I was inside that growth.
Along the way, I made mistakes. I said things that should never have been said. I let ego, excitement, and inexperience influence some decisions. That’s not who I want to be, and it’s not who I’m becoming.
To my fans who stream my music, defend me, pray for me, and believe in me—I am sorry.
To the global Afrobeats community, the legends and pioneers who opened doors before me, my colleagues, and everyone disappointed by my words or actions—I sincerely apologise.
Life offers moments where you either double down on pride or humble yourself and grow. I chose reflection. I chose to listen. I chose growth.
It takes strength to admit mistakes and maturity to retrace steps. I am doing both. I am still learning and evolving. The person entering this next chapter is more grounded, aware, and respectful of the platform I’ve been given.
The music you’ll hear next comes from a deeper, more honest, and grateful place. Thank you to those who held me accountable instead of cancelling me. To those who stayed or walked away—I understand.
This is growth. This is maturity. This is me doing better. Game time again.”
