The confrontation, characterized by intense personal attacks and a lack of substantive discussion, left many observers disheartened.
Davido, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to express his frustration. “Still a Democrat sha but worst presidential debate ever,” he tweeted.
A Historic Election

The exchange was marked by interruptions, accusations, and a lack of decorum, prompting widespread criticism from both political analysts and the general public.
Davido’s Perspective

Reactions from Fans
Fans of the music star responded to his tweet with a mix of agreement and debate, reflecting the polarized nature of the current political climate in the United States.
