One of Nigeria’s leading music icons, Davido has found himself in the midst of a social media storm following his tribute to the late artiste Mohbad, who passed away on Tuesday.

The “Fall” hitmaker posted a simple candle emoji on the deceased’s Twitter account (now X) as a symbol of mourning. However, the gesture has backfired as it ignited a barrage of criticism from netizens.

Many individuals on social media platforms have taken issue with Davido’s tribute, questioning the authenticity of his grief and recalling past events.

Some comments have been particularly pointed, with one user asking, “When he cried out, what did you do?” This sentiment has resonated with others who felt that expressions of grief after a person’s passing can ring hollow when their struggles were not acknowledged during their lifetime.

Another user lamented the lack of support Mohbad reportedly received while alive, contrasting it with the sudden outpouring of condolences after his death. This sentiment reflects a recurring theme in the comments, where netizens accuse some in the music industry of offering “fake love” to artistes in time of tragedy while neglecting them when in need.

The criticism has not been limited to words alone. Some commenters have urged Davido to be more specific in his tributes, asking for pictures or a more personalized remembrance rather than a simple emoji. Others have taken a more collective approach, mentioning fellow artiste Olamide and suggesting that both musicians could have done more to support Mohbad during his lifetime.

The following comments were captured from the post:

When he cried out what did you do.

What was your contribution to his life when he was around …fake love whenever someone is gone 💔
