Davido, the Afrobeat singer, sparked controversy by incorrectly asserting that Nigeria comprises only three tribes—Yoruba, Igbo, and Benin. The singer, hosting American content creator Kai Cenat, stated, "I'm three tribes in one," referring to his Yoruba father, Igbo wife, and Benin mother.
However, the National Bureau of Statistics reports 371 tribes in Nigeria, with Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba being the majority.
Social media responses ranged from critique to defense, with some attributing the error to an incomplete discussion or playful banter.
