The rapper took to X to question what Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, has delivered since assuming office. His comments came after Davido addressed the media in a celebratory press conference highlighting his uncle’s political success and the administration’s achievements.

Jesse Jagz, known for his socially conscious lyrics and willingness to challenge the status quo, dismissed the celebratory tone. He demanded concrete evidence of progress in Osun, focusing on basic infrastructure and public services that directly affect residents’ daily lives.

“Wetin your uncle don achieve since he enter govt?” he wrote, framing his criticism in the language of ordinary Nigerians who often feel disconnected from political fanfare.

The rapper went further, drawing a comparison with Abia State Governor Alex Otti, who has been widely praised online for visible reforms and infrastructure projects. By invoking Otti, Jesse implied that political celebrations should be backed by tangible improvements, not just media appearances and star power.

He accused Davido and other entertainers of using their platforms to glamorise political victories without holding leaders accountable for governance failures. “There’s no 24hrs in Osun, there’s no good roads — there’s nothing literally beside stages for you guys to dance and mock the people,” he wrote, suggesting that the entertainment industry sometimes serves as a distraction from citizens’ real struggles.

The remarks have sparked intense debate among fans and commentators. Supporters of Jesse Jagz argue that celebrities with close ties to politicians must be ready to answer tough questions about governance, especially when they publicly endorse or celebrate those in power. Others defend Davido, noting that he has long supported his family’s political ambitions and is entitled to celebrate their victories.

The exchange underscores a growing tension in Nigeria between celebrity influence, political power and public expectations. As more entertainers align with political figures, calls for them to use their platforms to demand accountability, rather than simply amplify political narratives, are becoming louder.

Neither Davido nor representatives of the Osun State government had issued a direct response to Jesse Jagz’s criticism at the time of reporting, but the conversation around celebrity responsibility and governance continues to build momentum online.
