Grammy Controversy Leads to Davido Unfollowing Rexxie

Davido, the acclaimed Afrobeats artist, has taken a notable step by unfollowing the distinguished music producer Ezeh Chisom Faith, widely known as Rexxie, on Instagram. This action underscores Davido's preference for silent but impactful responses to any form of disrespect or provocation directed at him online. The decision to unfollow Rexxie was precipitated by a pointed comment made by the producer, which was perceived as a veiled critique concerning the Grammy Awards.

The tension escalated during a heated exchange on Twitter, where Rexxie, in response to a fervent supporter of Davido, highlighted his Grammy recognition. He referenced his contributions to Burna Boy's acclaimed "Twice As Tall" album and the Grammy-nominated track "Do Yourself" by Angelique Kidjo featuring Burna Boy. Rexxie's statement, "Before your fav get Grammy I’ve already gotten it. I no use sympathy or dance with kids on uniform or attend the show early with my full squad and family members. Respect!” - now removed, implied a comparison of his achievements with Davido's Grammy pursuits.

Davido's reaction was swift and unequivocal, choosing to unfollow Rexxie on Instagram as a direct rebuttal to the producer's audacious remarks. This move was confirmed through a brief examination of their social media interactions, clearly indicating the cessation of their online connection.

This incident unfolds shortly after Rexxie shared an account of Davido's generosity during a challenging situation in Uganda, where Rexxie found himself detained. The producer had previously sought public support for his release, initiating a campaign with the hashtag “UgandaFreeRexxie.” This recent development marks a significant turn in the relationship between the two prominent figures in the Nigerian music industry.
