Nigerian singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has achieved a new milestone on social media, especially Instagram.

This comes shortly after the artist was recently involved in a public dispute with his friend, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman.

Davido’s Instagram page confirms the new achievement, solidifying his position as one of Africa’s biggest stars.

With 30 million followers, he has surpassed fellow African artists to become the most followed musician on the continent.

Wizkid, known for hits like Morayo, ranks second with 18.1 million followers, while Burna Boy follows closely behind in third place with 17.9 million.

Female artist Tiwa Savage also makes her mark as the second most followed Nigerian artist, with 19.1 million followers.

Other top African artists like Fally Pupa (5.9 million followers) and Tyla (11.5 million followers) are far behind their Nigerian counterparts in terms of Instagram popularity.

However, not all reactions were positive. Fans of Davido's long-time rival, Wizkid, also known as Wizkid FC, taunted him over the news.

Some criticized Davido, pointing to his Spotify streaming numbers and claiming that Instagram followers don’t equate to tangible value for his music career.

A few others argued that it can not be true that the artist, who recently reunited with his first daughter, cannot bag such a title.
