Actor Patrick Doyle has raised concerns about Afrobeats superstar Davido’s choice of outfit during a recent visit to the Olu of Warri.
Davido was in Warri on Saturday for a scheduled performance.
He took time to pay a courtesy visit to the revered monarch before hitting the stage.
Photos from the visit quickly surfaced online.
This sparks discussions about whether the singer’s attire was appropriate for such a formal occasion.
Doyle, who is an Itsekiri man and well-versed in the cultural norms of the region, publicly questioned Davido’s outfit.
He implies that the singer may not have adhered to the traditional dress code expected when meeting a king.
He expressed concerns over whether the artist’s appearance respected the customs and values of the Itsekiri people.
Patrick Doyle asked: “Is this appropriate dressing to visit the palace of a king the caliber of the Olu Of Warri?”.
Patrick Doyle’s remarks about Davido’s outfit touch on a broader conversation about the importance of cultural sensitivity.
