Veteran rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has berated those criticising his colleague, Davido, over his comment on the harsh Nigerian economy.
Recall that Davido, in a viral podcast, had discouraged people from moving back to Nigeria.
He warned that the Nigerian economy is in shambles.
Davido’s submission was greeted with heavy criticism as some people claimed that he was discouraging investors from visiting the country.
Reacting, Ruggedman said Davido’s comment was on point.
He urged the government to fix the economy so that no one would make similar comments in the future.
He pointed out that criticising Davido isn’t fixing the country, stressing that the hardship is unbearable.
Speaking via his X handle, he wrote, “Ok Davido has said what he said, moving forward the government should fix Nigeria so nobody will say such again. All this barking all over the place is not fixing the nation. The hardship is too much.”
