Social media erupted into chaos after Davido’s manager shared his Spotify Wrapped report online, instantly becoming a trending topic across Nigeria and the Afrobeats community. What seemed like a harmless post quickly spiraled into heated debates, confusion, and loud demands for explanations from fans who felt something was off. The reaction was so intense that within hours, his name was all over X (Twitter), Instagram stories, and TikTok commentary videos.
The uproar began when Davido’s manager proudly posted his annual Spotify Wrapped summary, showcasing the artists he listened to the most throughout the year. Normally, these kinds of posts don’t attract controversy, but fans immediately noticed that Davido was not included among his top artists. Instead, the chart showed other musicians—some of whom are Davido’s industry rivals—occupying top positions.
For fans, this was more than a casual playlist preference. Davido is one of the biggest Afrobeats stars globally, and a manager publicly revealing that he listens more to other artists felt like a breach of loyalty. Many fans argued that a manager should not only promote the artist but also support them visibly, especially on streaming platforms where numbers contribute to global rankings and award metrics.
Shortly after the post went viral, fans flooded the comment sections demanding answers. Some accused him of being unprofessional, while others suggested he was indirectly shading Davido. Within minutes, the situation escalated as loyal 30BG supporters began questioning his commitment to their fave. Screenshots, memes, and hot takes dominated X, with hashtags calling out the manager trending for hours.
Several fans expressed disappointment, saying that if Davido’s own manager does not have him as his top artist, it sends the wrong message to the public. Others were more dramatic, claiming it reflects internal tension or a lack of support within Davido’s camp—though no official statement has confirmed such speculation.
On the other side of the debate, some social media users defended the manager, insisting that Spotify Wrapped is a personal summary and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. They argued that even people who strongly support an artist may not listen to them 24/7. According to this group, the outrage was unnecessary and exaggerated.
Still, the damage was done. The post triggered so much attention that blogs, influencers, and entertainment pages started analyzing the situation. Some content creators even compared the incident to similar cases where managers, producers, or close associates revealed streaming habits that didn’t align with the artists they work with.
As the controversy grew, many fans began demanding an explanation from the manager himself. While he hasn’t issued a formal response yet, the experience serves as a reminder that in the Afrobeats industry—where loyalty and public image are everything—every move made by someone close to a superstar can easily get magnified.
Whether the outrage dies down or leads to a deeper discussion about expectations in artist-manager relationships, one thing is certain: Davido’s manager has become the unexpected center of attention, all because of a simple Spotify Wrapped post.
