US Poll: I voted Kamala Harris but congratulated Trump after being declared winner – Davido

Afrobeats musician Davido has talked about how much he admires the democratic system in the United States.

In an interview on The Morning Hustle show, the Nigerian singer talked about the recent US presidential election.

American citizen Davido disclosed that he supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the election.

The Grammy-nominated performer, 32, stated that he voted for her because he wanted to see the first American woman president in his lifetime.

As a reflection of the voice of the people, the singer also commended the “seamless process of the US presidential election.”

Despite Donald Trump’s narrow victory, he expressed his admiration for the democratic process.

The ‘Timeless’ hitmaker also opined that the United States has “true democracy” — insinuating that Nigeria does not.

“Apart from having better facilities overseas, people want to have their kids outside the country because it will save them the hassle of visas and stuff like that,” he said.

“I congratulated Trump. He is the president. If I was running against him I would still congratulate him.  Whatever happens in that cubicle is between me and the paper.

“What I like about America is that there is true democracy. Where I come from [Nigeria], it’s not so. The truth is people voted for him. I voted for Kamala. I actually wanted to see the first female president of my generation. People voted. So, whatever happens, happens.”

Davido was heavily criticised in Nigeria for participating in the US presidential election last month.
