Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again captured public attention—this time for gifting his daughter, Imade Adeleke, a luxurious $8,000 Dior bag during a sushi date, shortly after their emotional reunion at her birthday party.
A viral video from the outing shows the doting father presenting the designer handbag to Imade, who appeared both excited and shy as she counted dollar bills. Davido, whose voice could be heard in the background, encouraged her to pose for the camera, proudly showing off the price tag.
The father-daughter duo later dined with close friends, sharing playful banter as Davido urged Imade to finish her meal.
However, the display of extravagance sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans praised the singer’s bond with his daughter, others criticized the public display of wealth.
A user, Edu Adams, commented:
“The only problem I have with Davido is the way he keeps dropping fake prices to the public. What’s so special about that bag?”
Another, Ma Lo Lak, added:
“Davido is a low-key clout chaser. Why are you telling us the price? For what?”
Love Lessons questioned:
“Must everything be on camera?”
While Emmanuel joked:
“Walahi this oyinbo just dey scam us. See $8k bag tori Olohun. Make David give me just N500k, make I help am tell Obiora for my shop to do original Aba-made bag. E go even big well well.”
Despite the criticism, Davido’s gesture has rekindled conversations about celebrity parenting, lavish gifts, and the fine line between affection and public performance.
