Davido Silent on Buhari’s Death, Shares Reflective Quote Amid Tour
Afrobeats megastar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has remained publicly silent following the death of former Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari, instead choosing to focus on personal reflections as he continues his ongoing 5ive Tour.
Buhari passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at a medical facility in London, prompting a wave of tributes, condolences, and mixed reactions from citizens and public figures alike. While several Nigerian celebrities have addressed the development either directly or through symbolic posts, Davido’s response—or lack thereof—has sparked significant curiosity among fans and observers.
Rather than making a direct statement about the late former president, Davido took to Instagram to share a widely quoted message that many interpreted as a veiled commentary. The post read:
“I’ve learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” —a famous quote by celebrated American author and poet Maya Angelou.
Accompanied by emojis and hashtags related to his tour, the post immediately triggered discussion across social media platforms. Some fans viewed it as a neutral, philosophical take on human legacy and emotional impact, while others saw it as a subtle nod to the divisive legacy left behind by Buhari.
Given the former president’s polarizing tenure—marked by both staunch support and strong criticism—Davido’s quote has been dissected by fans and political commentators alike. Although the singer has not explicitly connected the post to recent events, the timing of its publication has only intensified speculation.
As Davido continues to sell out venues across multiple countries, his silence on the matter contrasts with his usual openness on national issues. Whether deliberate or coincidental, his post has become part of the larger public discourse surrounding Buhari’s death and the emotional ripple effects it has triggered across Nigeria and beyond.
