Afrobeat star Davido, whose real name is Davido Adeleke, is facing criticism on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) because of his smoking habit.
Beyond Boders reports that the criticism came despite Davido recently getting married.
A social media user posted a picture showing Davido trying to light a cigarette while spending time with his wife, Chioma.
The user expressed disappointment, saying Davido showed no respect for his wife by smoking around her.
However, in the photo, Chioma did not seem to be bothered and was focused on her phone.
