Summary: Davido throws shade at Reno Omokri on Instagram after the political commentator’s interview explaining his delayed resumption as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico. See what OBO said.
Nigerian music superstar Davido has taken to social media to drag former presidential aide and political commentator Reno Omokri over his delayed assumption of duty as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico.
The DMW boss, known for his no-holds-barred approach on social media, shared a clip from Reno Omokri’s recent interview with Channels Television on his Instagram page this morning, adding his own spicy commentary to the mix.
In the interview, Omokri attempted to explain the reasons behind his delayed resumption at the Mexican embassy, but Davido wasn’t having any of it. The “Timeless” crooner captioned the post with “Umu bingo. Fowl!” – a phrase that has quickly become viral Nigerian internet slang for calling out perceived nonsense or foolishness.
The Beef Continues
This latest jab is part of an ongoing back-and-forth between the two public figures, who have clashed multiple times over political and social issues. Davido, who has been increasingly vocal about Nigerian politics and governance, has never been one to shy away from expressing his opinions, regardless of who’s on the receiving end.
Reno Omokri, appointed as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Mexico, has faced questions from Nigerians about why he hasn’t resumed his diplomatic duties since his appointment. His explanation on Channels TV apparently didn’t satisfy many, including OBO himself.
As expected, Nigerian social media users have flooded the comments section with reactions, with many taking sides in this celebrity-politician face-off. Some are backing Davido’s boldness in calling out public officials, while others believe the music star should focus on his craft.
At the time of this report, Reno Omokri has not responded to Davido’s latest shade. We’ll be watching to see if this develops into another full-blown social media war.
