Adewale Adeleke, elder brother of Nigerian music icon Davido, has stirred controversy following his reaction to the ongoing drama involving Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje over an unfulfilled Lamborghini promise.
The saga began when Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy made headlines after Sophia Egbueje, in a leaked audio recording, claimed the singer had promised her a Lamborghini after an intimate encounter but failed to deliver. According to Sophia, her friend Ama Reginald and Burna Boy’s associate, Manny, encouraged her to meet the artist, which ultimately led to the incident.
Reacting to the controversy on Twitter, Adewale Adeleke attributed the drama to poverty, stating:
Na poverty dey cause all this wahala.”
However, his comment sparked outrage among netizens, with many drawing parallels to his younger brother Davido’s previous scandals involving women.
Several social media users criticized Adewale for his remark, pointing out instances involving Davido and questioning the validity of his statement:
- Deyoung_Smuller: “Na poverty dey make full grown man dey kneel to beg for toto? Wey no be your girl or wife.”
- Ifec_emma: “This guy is right, his brother would have bought the Lambo and still kneel to beg for the kpekus.”
- Joshylanky_: “The lady in question isn’t pøor now, so how poverty take enter the matter.”
- Devinasface: “It’s not poverty, the problem is girls who aren’t contented with what they can offer themselves.”
- Mhiz_tomi02: “Na greed dey cause all this wahala no be poverty, they want to live a social media life.”
The backlash intensified as users referenced past controversies involving Davido, including a leaked intimate video shared by US model Bonita Maria last year. In the footage, Davido was seen allegedly begging her for sex, despite being married at the time. Bonita clarified that the video was an emotional moment that should not have been made public.
Similarly, another woman, Gorgeous Doll, admitted to leaking an intimate photo of herself with Davido, claiming she was unaware of his marital status but knew of his relationships with other women.
