The ongoing feud between Afrobeats superstar Davido and transport union leader MC Oluomo has escalated, with street-hop singer Portable stepping in to defend MC Oluomo and question Davido's loyalties. The dispute, unfolding days before the Osun governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2026, has sparked heated online debates about the intersection of music, politics, and street culture in Nigeria.
Davido Mocks MC Oluomo in Instagram Post
Davido, born David Adeleke, publicly threw shade at MC Oluomo in an Instagram story on Monday, July 27, 2026. Writing in pidgin English, he said: "@kingmcoluomo dem say u Dey game ... I doubt lol look ur mirror." This jab came amid a dispute between MC Oluomo and Davido's uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who recently suspended National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) operations in the state.
MC Oluomo, through his deputy Aliyu Issa Ore, countered that no governor has the authority to halt the union's activities. Davido's post was widely seen as a show of support for his uncle, especially with the gubernatorial election just weeks away.
Portable Weighs In with Fiery Remarks
Portable, known for his controversial takes, added fuel to the fire with a cryptic post that seemed to back MC Oluomo's influence. He wrote: "Awon Omo Ope Yapa Aiyedade Eruku yapa Abi you won run comot for Naija Ni You go japa go Atlanta Who dey put body. Mc OluOmo no small oo Oga Anybody Olohun Ju Eda lo." His statement, laced with Yoruba and street slang, suggested that MC Oluomo remains a formidable figure despite Davido's dismissal.
Portable's intervention has stirred reactions online, with netizens debating his motives. One user, veevogee, commented: "Nothing to see here. He’s standing with his mentor." Another, hoyeen053, said: "The way Davido use sharp scissors cut the werey off still Dey pain him…any Davido opponent the werey go support am straight." Meanwhile, safiyah_the_builder noted: "Portable fit argue with his own shadow if e go trend."
Netizens React to the Clash
The social media buzz has been intense. User nikki_stenderr wrote: "Who do u expect Portable to support? His mentor of course." Another, brit_sonic01, joked: "Davido say by the power invested in me ??? English they cry." Safiyah_the_builder added a philosophical take: "Portable no get permanent enemy or friend, na permanent opportunity." These reactions highlight the divided opinions on Portable's alignment with MC Oluomo over Davido.
In a related development, Davido's baby mama Sophia Momodu stirred fresh conversation by appearing to take a subtle swipe at Davido during a live session. She claimed to be the only one catering to their daughter Imade's needs: "Na only me my pikin get, nor be audio money. If bill come now from up, down, na me go settle am. Una know as e dey go. Make una leave all these audio money."
Political Implications of the Feud
The clash between Davido and MC Oluomo is not just a celebrity spat—it has deep political roots. Governor Adeleke's suspension of NURTW operations was a direct challenge to MC Oluomo's influence, and Davido's online jab aligns him with his uncle's camp. As the August 15 election approaches, the involvement of high-profile figures like Portable adds a layer of street credibility and youth engagement to the political discourse.
According to sources close to the Adeleke administration, the governor has taken a firm stance against union-related violence and extortion, which led to the suspension. MC Oluomo, a powerful figure in Lagos and now extending influence to Osun, has resisted, leading to this public confrontation.
