Afrobeat musician David Adedeji Adeleke, better known as Davido, has finally taken delivery of his private jet in Nigeria.

It should be noted that weeks ago, the artist shows off the interior of his freshly bought N102 billion Bombardier private jet, referring to it as a “Bombie baby.”

However, once the story spread online, there were some negative reactions.

The news left many talking, while some congratulated him over his latest possession, others expressed disbelief, calling him a clout chaser.

In an update to it, the singer’s brand new jet has finally arrived in Lagos, Nigeria. Proving his haters wrong, the singer shared a photo of his private jet on the tarmac of the airport.

As expected, the news has left many talking with some praying against poverty.

Davido jet lands in Lagos

Recall that when the singer announced he had bought a new jet, Samklef made it known that Davido’s billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke was the one who bought a jet and not the singer. He further questioned where people’s fathers were when Davido’s father was making money.

Refuting his claims, Isreal DMW made it known that the private jet belongs to Davido and not his father. Congratulating his boss, he advised his followers to follow those who see road clearly, as he wished Davido more to come.

Weighing in on it, Isaac Fayose shaded Samklef as he noted how people who are unhappy and broke are always the ones running others down. He noted how Davido said he bought a private jet, yet Samklef was disagreeing with him when he doesn’t even have a bicycle. He questioned why the producer’s late father didn’t buy a jet for him before his death or what his family used their life for.

It isn’t surprising to see Davido buying a private jet as in a recent interview, he revealed that he made a huge sum of 1.3 million dollars just for the performance alone at Madison Square.

He had also narrated how He had been gifted over 600,000 thousand dollars from his fans.
