The Instagram interface shows “davido • 1h,” indicating the story was posted one hour prior to the screenshot. The central text reads “nt due $11,000,” with “nt due” possibly being a typo or shorthand, likely meant to indicate an amount “not due” or “net due.” A large laughing-crying emoji 😂 with tears streaming down its face is placed next to the amount, suggesting amusement or disbelief at the sum. The phrase “CASHAAAAAAATTITTT” is written in bold, emphasizing the financial boast with an exaggerated tone.
Davido’s post reflects a broader trend in the Nigerian music industry where artists often use social media to flaunt their earnings, reinforcing their status and influence. The $11,000 figure, while significant, is dwarfed by the millions Davido and Wizkid reportedly earn for international performances. The laughing emoji and exaggerated caption suggest a playful yet competitive tone, likely aimed at asserting dominance over Wizkid in their ongoing rivalry. However, reactions like @Biggmike97’s question about the figures’ authenticity highlight a common skepticism about such displays, especially given the ease of manipulating screenshots.
