On Davido & VDM. I have my thoughts together now. It's no longer news that Davido, despite being one of the biggest superstars out of Africa somehow knows how to bring ant-infested rotting wood into his house. A lot of you attribute it to "humility" but it really isn't - it is a psychological pattern I'll call maladaptive approval seeking disorder. It is the kleptomaniac version of validation hunting. You know how kleptomaniacs are wired - it doesn't matter how much they are fed, how much wealth they're born into, how much of money they have access to - they NEED to steal to satisfy an urge. That's how people with maladaptive approval seeking disorders behave. It doesn't matter how many people cheer them up, the strength of their fanbase, how much love they get - they never seem to run out of the thirst for validation even if its from nonentities. Davido, as an embodiment of this disorder, cannot stomach the fact that there are people who don't like him or don't necessarily fuck with him - to him, how is that possible? This is why he wants to be the knight posturing as someone's savior publicly even though he intends to ghost them (Madrina), buys the loyalty of presumed internet popular nuisances just to feed that disorder - like a kleptomaniac would. It is a deep seated insecurity that predisposes him to eventual disrespect. In reality, he doesn't even rate himself. He doesn't enjoy who he is or what he has, unless he has to smash it in someone's face. The disrespect he's getting, he actually deserves - because the very reason he associated with those nuisances in the first place was to use them as internet weapons in his media fights. It is also poetically hilarious that my analogy for this tweet is the psychology of kleptomaniacs because he's also a thief, too. Long may the disrespect continue.
