‘Arindin’ | ‘Entitled spoilt brat’ — Davido, Sowore clash over Adeleke
Davido, Sowore trade words on X
Davido, the award-winning singer, and Omoyele Sowore, the human rights activist, have engaged in a heated war of words on social media.
The confrontation started after Sowore criticised Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun who is Davido’s uncle.
Sowore, in a recent interview about Osun’s upcoming election, called the governor “brainless” and said he had “nothing upstairs”.
He also described Osogbo, the state capital, as a “war zone” lacking basic infrastructure.
Davido responded on X by quoting the interview and labelling Sowore an “Arindin,” a Yoruba term for a foolish or unintelligent person.
Sowore fired back, arguing that the label better suited the governor. He also criticised Adeleke’s political record, including his support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.
Sowore accused the Adeleke family of treating Osun as a “private estate” to fund their lifestyle, calling them “oppressive, corrupt, incompetent, and entitled”.
“The real arindin is your uncle, @AAdeleke_01, who had to go back and obtain the equivalent of a GED after he had already served as a Nigerian Senator,” he wrote.
“The real arindin is your uncle who chose @officialABAT as his presidential candidate, apparently hoping that imbecilic political loyalty would allow your family to continue treating Osun state as a private estate to finance your extravagant lifestyle.
“All of you are the same anyway, oppressive, corrupt, incompetent, and entitled spoilt brats, feeding off the pain, suffering, and sorrow of Nigerians. But the tables will turn. The Nigerian people will not endure this forever.”
