- Afrobeats star Davido took down a tweet announcing that his family would not back any presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 elections
- He also deleted a separate post appearing to criticise President Bola Tinubu amid tensions over the Osun election
- Fans online noticed the deletions and began questioning the singer’s motives, sparking debate on social media
Afrobeats superstar Davido has quietly deleted two politically charged tweets that drew significant attention on Saturday, August 15, leaving fans and political observers asking questions.
In the first deleted tweet, the singer, whose full name is David Adeleke, wrote that his family would no longer be supporting any presidential candidate, tagging his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

A separate screenshot circulating online showed another deleted post directed at President Bola Tinubu, which read simply: “U no try @officialABAT.”
Both posts were removed shortly after they went live, but not before thousands of users had already seen and screenshotted them.

Why the Deleted Tweets Matter
Davido’s family ties to Osun state politics make his online statements particularly significant. Governor Adeleke’s political alliance with Tinubu’s administration has long been a subject of public discussion, and any hint of a family rift carries weight ahead of future elections.
