Deeone Calls Out Davido Over Absence at Soso Soberekon’s Wedding, Describes Singer as “Terrible and Arrogant”

Nigerian comedian and former Big Brother Naija housemate Deeone has stirred controversy after publicly criticising Afrobeats superstar Davido over his absence at the wedding of music executive Soso Soberekon, describing the singer as “terrible” and “arrogant.”

Speaking in a video that has since gone viral across social media platforms, Deeone questioned why Davido failed to attend the high-profile wedding despite his long-standing relationship with Soso Soberekon.

According to Deeone, the music executive has played an important role in Nigeria’s entertainment industry and has maintained close ties with several top artists over the years, making Davido’s absence surprising.

The comedian argued that celebrities should make time to honour people who have contributed significantly to their careers and the entertainment industry.

He claimed that showing up for important life events such as weddings is a sign of appreciation, loyalty and respect for long-standing friendships.

During the video, Deeone did not hold back in expressing his disappointment, accusing the award-winning singer of displaying arrogance by failing to attend the ceremony.

He suggested that public figures should not allow their busy schedules or celebrity status to prevent them from supporting friends during major milestones.

The remarks quickly gained attention online, sparking heated debates among fans and entertainment followers.

While some social media users agreed with Deeone, insisting that Davido should have attended the wedding if he truly shared a close relationship with Soso Soberekon, others defended the singer, arguing that no one outside his inner circle knows the reason behind his absence.

Several supporters pointed out that celebrities often miss events because of work commitments, international travel, personal obligations or unforeseen circumstances.

Others noted that attendance at a public event should not be used as the sole measure of friendship, adding that Davido may have congratulated the couple privately.

Some fans also criticised Deeone for making assumptions without knowing the facts, saying it was unfair to label someone “arrogant” without hearing their side of the story.

The discussion has continued to trend across various social media platforms, with users divided over whether the criticism was justified.

Soso Soberekon, a respected music executive and talent manager, is widely recognised for his contributions to Nigeria’s music industry, having worked with numerous artists throughout his career.

His wedding attracted several notable personalities from the entertainment industry, making it one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the period.

At the time of this report, Davido has not publicly responded to Deeone’s comments or explained why he did not attend the wedding.

Likewise, Soso Soberekon has not commented on the controversy, choosing instead to focus attention on celebrating his marriage.

Entertainment analysts believe the incident once again highlights how celebrity relationships often become subjects of public debate, particularly when fans perceive actions or decisions as signs of loyalty—or the lack of it.

Until Davido addresses the matter, speculation surrounding his absence is likely to continue, with supporters and critics offering differing interpretations of the situation.

For now, Deeone’s comments have added another layer of conversation to an event that had already attracted widespread attention, further demonstrating how closely the lives of Nigeria’s biggest entertainment figures are followed by the public.
