A man has reacted to a viral video showing Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, allegedly smoking weed in front of police officers.
The clip, which surfaced online, was shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user identified as Dr Penking, who wrote: “Davido smoking weed in front of police Yet they’ll tell you no one is above the law.”
... has since stirred widespread reactions. Another X user, @iam_lexie_b, commented: “But you don tweet this thing before now!”
In response, Dr Penking said: “I will tweet it as many times as possible until our law enforcement start holing everyone to the same standards.”
Sharing his perspective, a user identified as Saint wrote: “LMAO, never been a fan of that line. isn’t the law under those who made them and can change them so meaning law makers (wealth) are above the law.”
Another user, Ovbiola, added: “Once ya get money for Africa ya ball hard and ya fart on the dam law. Law in Africa especially Nigeria na for poor people ✌🏿”
Ayden also weighed in, saying: “Nigerians clamoring for a better Nigeria but look at them defending the police because it’s Davido. Na we be our own problem walai.”
Similarly, Abelprizy commented: “W33d is stronger than Nigerian Law now. Highness no dey fear face but niga law dey look face before e hold person.”
Sodbill, however, offered a different view: “Leave the boy alone. Find something else. Nigeria problem no be the artist or what type of life they choose. Focus on your own life.”
Johnson highlighted the double standards, writing: “Some people like him & many others who are political celebrities are above the law in Nigeria. If any poor man mistakenly smoke w££d infront of the Police or NDLEA officer, his life would never remain the same again!👌”
Echoing this sentiment, Godwin_ore stated: “Davido openly smokes weed in front of police officers and nothing happens. Yet ordinary people are arrested for the same thing. They say no one is above the law but clearly some people are. I stand with Davido, but let’s stop pretending the system is fair.”
