Nigerian music superstar Davido has broken his silence over his protest during the FIFA World Cup, declaring that “there’s no image to protect if kids are being kidnapped.”
The award-winning artiste explained that his decision to speak out was driven by deep concern over the growing cases of child kidnappings, insisting that human lives must always take precedence over entertainment, public relations, or personal reputation.
According to Davido, remaining silent in the face of such a crisis would have been irresponsible, stressing that celebrities have a duty to use their platforms to amplify issues affecting vulnerable people.
“There’s no image to protect if kids are being kidnapped,” he said, emphasizing that protecting children should be a collective national priority.
His remarks have sparked widespread reactions online, with many fans and social commentators praising him for using the global spotlight of the World Cup to draw attention to a humanitarian issue rather than focusing solely on football.
The singer’s comments have reignited conversations about insecurity, child safety, and the role of public figures in advocating for social justice, with many urging authorities to intensify efforts to combat kidnappings and protect children.
