Gather around, my people! We have some spicy gist that will leave you raising your eyebrows and shaking your head. In the most unexpected twist of events, UK’s very own rapper, Dave, has decided to take a wild shot at Nigerian strikers! And trust me, it was a diss that no one saw coming, and now the streets are talking!
Picture this: Dave drops a new album titled The Boy Who Plays The Harp, and one of the tracks, ‘Chapter 16’, is causing quite the stir. You know how we Nigerians love our football stars and can spend hours arguing about anything related to football? Well, Dave took it there, and people are not having it!

In this track, Dave seems to have no chill as he accuses Nigerian strikers of bending the truth about their age. Yes, you heard me right! Our unapologetically confident artist is out here suggesting that some of our football heroes are not being completely honest about their age. Omo, this tea is hot!
Now you know how we do it on Naija Twitter—everyone and their grandma has an opinion! It didn’t take long for the hashtags to start popping up, and before we knew it, #DaveAgeGate was trending. Nigerians from all corners of the globe took to social media to weigh in on the matter, and boy, did they have things to say!
Some folks are defending our strikers, saying that this is just another case of clout-chasing. “Dave should focus on his music and leave our players alone!” said one passionate fan. Another added, “We all know age is just a number, abeg! Focus on your own lane, Dave.” The banter is real, and the streets are watching!
But not everyone is against the rapper. Some people are throwing support Dave’s way, claiming that he might be speaking some hard truths. “Nigerians need to stop being so sensitive,” remarked a UK fan. “If it’s the truth, then let him speak.” Well, well, well! This conversation is far from over.
While some are taking sides, others are sitting back with their popcorn, waiting for the next twist in this saga. Nigerians love their drama, and this one has all the ingredients of a blockbuster. Whatever side you’re on, there’s one thing for sure—this is the type of gist that makes you say “E choke!”
Whether or not Dave’s accusations hold water, one thing is clear: the rapper has certainly gotten everyone talking. Could this be a calculated move to get more streams on his album, or is it just a genuine observation on his part? Na only God know!
For now, the comments section is popping, and the debates are hotter than a Lagos afternoon. What do you think about Dave’s diss? Are our strikers guilty as charged, or is this just another case of celebrity wahala? Whatever your take, keep sharing your thoughts because this gist is just getting started!
