Afrobeats star Davido and Hausa singer Dauda Rarara are locked in a public spat after Rarara criticised the “Bring Them Home” jacket Davido wore at the FIFA World Cup countdown concert to highlight Nigeria’s abducted schoolchildren.
Two of Nigeria’s biggest music names are trading shots — and it’s not over a beat. According to PM News, the row kicked off after Davido rocked a “Bring Them Home” jacket at the FIFA World Cup 2026 countdown concert in LA, naming over 40 children and teachers abducted in Oyo State.
Rarara called it “barbaric,” accusing him of dragging Nigeria’s image through the mud on a global stage and hinting at political motives. Davido didn’t take it lying down — first mocking him online, then dropping a fiery Hausa response insisting Nigerians can’t stay silent about insecurity. His message: patriotism means speaking up, not playing politics with people’s pain. The internet, naturally, has picked sides.
