Singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he doesn't speak Yoruba because he doesn't think the language fits him.

Davido said this when he appeared on a cooking show, where he was asked if he speaks Yoruba.

"No. I won't say I don't speak Yoruba, I feel like it doesn't fit me. I understand everything, but when it comes to music."

Reacting, Netizens slammed the singer, with one @Letter_to_Jack saying, "Yoruba doesn’t fit him yet it’s the language he uses the most for his hits."

@LENNONstl said, "There’s some statements that should not come out from a leader. @davido if Yoruba do not suit you, pls tell me how you want to rule them. I’m sure tomorrow will come and you’ll try to contest for a political post, this type of video will be used against you. How could you say Yoruba do not suit you ah, a proudly son of the soil shouldn’t utter out something like that. I love you as my favorite but sometimes you need serious correction baba imade."

@Accountant_Ladi said, "Does this guy have anyone who advices him at all! Like, how can someone be this pathetically foolish."

@Leaf_Herb said, "@davido said he does not speak Yoruba....Because Speaking Yoruba does not fit him?! Regional government with self determination is a must and all regions must preserve & promote their indigenous culture. All Elected officials will be made to address their people in their language."

@thebeeperfumery said, "Davido has always been a sellout. He's culturally inclined but lacks the intellectual ability to know when to speak or what to say. Dude practically grew up in a house where Yoruba was 100% spoken. Burna, Wizkid, Olamide etc love representing the culture. Dude got a big mouth."

@jhybow_whiskey said, "I have always have my reason of never supporting Davido, and this crown it all, I will never support a proud Yoruba-but, that name is late son “Ifeanyi” never proud of Yoruba, but Yoruba resources and political power fit him, but the language does not fit him, OSUN E RONU!"
