Mr Bamidele ‘Dele’ Adeleke has released a response after his cousin, singer Davido went on a social media attack against him for declaring to run for the governorship seat in Osun state, against their uncle, Ademola Adeleke.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Davido had shared a photo of his cousin posing with a provisional clearance certificate for the Osun State gubernatorial election accusing him of “forming intellectual.”
He wrote, “Wonderful! I finished university with a 2:1. But it’s now cousin Dele who struggled to even get a 2:2 that is now forming ‘intellectual’.”
“Intellectual that has not succeeded in building one single thing in his own life on his own. This life ehn! Osun beware of FAKES. @deleadeleke001”
“Bad belle lopo laiye Kehinde Le je oju taiye,” he continued.
The call out didn’t stop there, later Davido went on in another post: “Because of your ambition you have your people write about me (which I don’t care ) but to include the death of my mother in an article …”
“same woman that raised you … @deleadeleke001 ok na .. Dele God will reward you.”
Accusing Bamidele of biting the hands that fed him, he tweeted again “The truth hurt you that much you had to go that low to mention YOUR AUNTY VERO that cared for you .. well .. I don open my crase for the year @deleadeleke001 stay tuned. NEW MUSIC 2MORO!”
“Worst of all this Nigga really doing all this from the house my father gave you ! Audacity ! Disrespect me ! (I don’t care) But my FATHER my MOTHER Never! DELE I WILL STRESS YOU ! We go meet for field ….”
DELE ADELEKE REPLIES DAVIDO
On Wednesday afternoon, Dele Adeleke released a reply via his Twitter handle. He wrote:
“Dear David,
For whatever this is worth to you, please note that I lost my mother at a tender age like you and would never allow anyone to denigrate her nor her memory. I will NEVER write nor say anything against my Auntie Vero, who I cherish dearly.
“You are the king of social media & you definitely know people take it upon themselves to write whatever they believe will give them clout. So many of your fans came to my SM handles to threaten me and some even asked me to go and die. Did you send them to threaten my life?.
“I seriously doubt it and I do not believe you will do such thing. So, irrespective of politics, please note that I am not that kind of person; I have maintained decorum in the face of provocation and I will continue to do so.
“I respect your decision and choice to support Uncle Demola and that is the beauty of democracy. It is possible we can all make our individual choices without rancour and bitterness. We can all follow different paths and still live as one big, happy family.
“The people of Osun, greatly deserving the best, will give the job to who they so deem fit and may the #Best man win #OSUN2022
“You will always remain dear to me.
“‘Dele.”
