Recounting the incident, the artist shared his personal connection to Ronaldo, stating,
“Look at Cristiano Ronaldo when he left the World Cup. He is my friend, by the way. He is my very good friend. When he left the World Cup, I remember being on the internet, and the trolls were abusing him so much, even after everything that he has done.”
It is worth noting that in his 2017 hit song Fall, the artist paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Also, Davido is the only African artiste that the renowned footballer follows on Instagram.
