On X · @davidoDavido Comments on Davrel’s Family Wealth in Quote of Music Group PostDavido (@davido) quoted a video post by Davreltv (@davrel99) promoting “DAVREL MUSIC GROUP,” writing in Nigerian Pidgin: “And ur mom owns that building … y dem no go hate u 😂 ur in for a ride …” (roughly: “And your mom owns that building… why wouldn’t they hate you?

The post references known details of Davrel’s family’s property ownership and appears to warn or tease about inevitable envy/hate amid Davrel’s rising profile and reported friction with artist Mavo. It is trending due to Davido’s massive following, the light jab at privilege (“nepo” vibes), and fans interpreting it as the star inserting himself into younger artists’ drama, generating hundreds of replies/quotes and high views.2,500 likes · 9mDaily Caller News FoundationDem Senate Hopeful Backed Trans Prison Policy — Female Inmate Says Convicted Killer Threatened To Rape HerDemocratic Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson previously voted for a state policy to allow trans-identifying men into women's prisons, which caused female inmates to accuse biological males of threatening to rape them.47m
