Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today not just to celebrate Davido’s fifth studio album 5IVE, but also to witness the renaming ceremony held by the streets of X (formerly Twitter).
Apparently, after hearing some of the lyrics from the project, haters have decided to rebrand 001 as… Gbavido.
Yes, Gbavido. But hey no, no, no, why insult a man that just dropped an album trending from track 1 to 17? 😭
The Delilah Line That Broke the Internet 💇🏾♀️
One line in particular got netizens clutching their wigs. In the song “Nuttin Dey”, Davido sings:
“Delilah wan cut my hair, so me I serve her breakfast one time”
Now, while Davido clearly tried to spin a Samson-Delilah heartbreak bar with modern Gen Z breakfast energy, social media no gree.
They turned it to comedy. They even added sound effects 😭.
“Delilah wan cut my hair…”
Nigerians: “Egbami! Gbavido, whyyy?”
Omah Lay Did His Job… But Did Davido Fumble It? 😬
The track that featured Omah Lay had everyone expecting a soul-touching spiritual jam. Omah Lay came in with vibes, depth and heartbreak—basically the voice of a tortured soul.
Then Davido allegedly showed up with “Nuttin Dey” vibes like he was still in Shizzi’s studio in 2013.
X users didn’t let it slide. They said Davido “spoilt the beat”, “turned prayer point to Zanku lyrics”, and asked if he borrowed his pen from Zinoleesky.
Brutal, I know. But this is social media, and the only law here is: drag first, fact-check later.
From Davido to Gbavido: Banter or Hateration? 🥴
While some people are clearly doing it for laughs (and retweets), others genuinely feel that Davido’s songwriting in 5IVE wasn’t as strong as the production or features.
But here’s the twist:
The same album they’re mocking, they can’t stop streaming.
The album topped Apple Music Nigeria—1 to 17—on release day. That’s not child’s play. That’s “Shoe Get Size” levels of domination.
So maybe… just maybe…
“Gbavido” dey enter their body small small. 👀
Conclusion
Call him Davido, Gbavido, or even Samson 2.0, the truth remains: the man knows how to drop albums that spark conversation.
Whether it’s for his lyrics, his beats, or the fact that he has a permanent lease in Nigerians’ head—Davido remains a force.
And about that Delilah line?
Well, say what you want, but at least she didn’t cut his hair. 😌
