Davido’s Controversial “Unavailable” Track Sparks Debate About LGBTQ Rights
Nigerian singer and songwriter Davido has released a new album titled “Timeless”, featuring 17 tracks. One of the tracks on the album, “Unavailable”, has stirred up controversy due to its lyrics about LGBTQ issues.
In the song, Davido responds to rumors about his personal life, particularly accusations that he has been with multiple women. He questions those who make these accusations, asking if they expect him to be with men instead. The lyrics have been interpreted as homophobic by some listeners, leading to criticism of the artist.
This is not the first time Davido has faced controversy over his views on LGBTQ rights. In 2018, he made headlines when he commented on an Instagram post that showed a gay man being tortured in Nigeria. Davido responded with a laughing emoji, sparking backlash from fans and LGBTQ advocates.
It is important to note that LGBTQ rights are a contentious issue in Nigeria, where same-sex relationships are illegal and punishable by up to 14 years in prison. While some Nigerians are supportive of LGBTQ rights, others hold conservative views and believe that homosexuality goes against their religious and cultural values.
As a public figure with a large following, Davido’s words carry weight and can influence public opinion. While it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on LGBTQ rights, it is important for public figures to use their platform responsibly and promote messages of acceptance and tolerance.
