Nigerian music superstar Davido has once again captured the internet’s attention this time for his lavish gift to his daughter, Imade Adeleke.
The Afrobeats icon reportedly gifted the young girl a $8,000 Dior handbag, a moment that was caught on camera and has since gone viral across social media platforms.
The heartwarming video, which surfaced shortly after Davido's appearance at Imade’s birthday party, shows father and daughter enjoying a sushi date. During their outing, Davido is seen handing over the luxury designer bag to Imade while gently instructing her to “turn around” so the camera could capture the moment—and the price tag.
Later in the clip, the duo is seen dining with a few close friends and family members. Amidst cheerful banter, Davido encourages his daughter to finish the food on the table. In another playful moment, Imade is shown shyly counting U.S. dollars as her father nudges her to greet fans watching the video.
Mixed Reactions Online
While many fans praised Davido for spoiling his daughter and maintaining a loving presence in her life, not everyone was impressed by the public display of wealth. Social media users weighed in with mixed emotions, some questioning the necessity and authenticity of the gesture:
-
Edu Adams commented: “The only issue I have with Davido is the way he keeps announcing exaggerated prices. What’s so special about that bag?”
-
Ma Lo Lak added: “Davido is a lowkey clout chaser. Why are you telling us how much the bag costs? For what reason?”
-
Love Lessons posed the question many were thinking: “Must everything be recorded and shared online?”
-
Emmanuel offered a humorous take: “Walahi, these foreign designers just dey scam us. See $8k bag, tori Olohun! I wish David would contact me—just give me N500k and I’ll get Obiora from my shop to make him an original Aba-made bag. E go even big pass Dior!”
A Trend Among Celebrities?
Public displays of extravagant gifts for celebrity children are not uncommon, but they often stir debate especially in a country where the wealth gap is striking. While fans love seeing the softer, more personal side of their favorite stars, some argue that such gestures, when flaunted online, can come off as tone-deaf or performative.
Still, others see it differently. To them, Davido’s actions reflect a father making up for lost time and expressing love through generosity, especially after a widely publicized breakup and the challenges of co-parenting.
As conversations about wealth, parenting, and social media continue, Davido remains unapologetically himself charming fans, stirring debates, and keeping the spotlight right where he seems to like it.
