Music star Davido has slammed a Twitter user who faulted him over his claims of being invited by football icon, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Via the micro-blogging platform Twitter, now known as X, Davido recounted how Ronaldo personally invited him to watch a match at Old Trafford years back. He said the footballer had booked a dinner and all for him. Unfortunately, he lost the match and angrily went home.
Davido said since that day, he hasn’t forgiven the footballer, Maguire.
“Football ehn fit give person BP. I remember when CR7 personally invited me to watch the match at Old Trafford a couple of years ago. He don book dinner ALL! Party, chillin, etc. Nah, so dem go lose match. BABA VEX GO HOUSE. Since that day, I still haven’t forgiven Maguire.”
An X user who didn’t believe him, via his comment section, stated that Ronaldo had personally invited Davido; he would have sat with the crowd.
“If CR7 invited you, you won’t sit with the crowd, bro. Stop it”.
Replying to him, Davido sarcastically stated that he would have been number 9 to give Ronaldo assistance.
“I for dey number 9 dey give am assist, u’re right”.
Davido’s relationship with Ronaldo isn’t surprising. In 2023, during an interview, Davido spoke of his friendship with the Portuguese footballer. He described Ronaldo as his friend and reiterated that he is close friends with the footballer.

A year back, despite his numerous wins and recognition, Davido had lamented over his career choice, expressing regret at choosing the wrong profession. While noting the wealth of football stars like Mbappe, Messi, and Ronaldo, Davido affirmed that footballers are living a luxury lifestyle.
