Davido accused of having fake Instagram followers

At over 7 million followers, Davido remains the most followed Nigerian on Instagram. No Nigerian person or brand has more followers but now the authenticity of those followers are now being questioned
Two Instagram users, @kinglucyy and @amarabiish have questioned the originality of Davido's followers, insinuating that most of his followers might have been fake or cloned followers instead of real people and their reasoning, which they claimed was a result of intensive research and analysis, is based on the number of likes and comments the Nigerian pop idol gets, compared to his arch rival, Wizkid's.

@kinglucyy claims he counted the number of likes of one Davido's post which saw over a thousand in 5 minutes and was surprised, after his manual counting that it was actually 217 likes, and not 1000 as stated.

Read his post: "Truth is Davido has 7M followers and Wizkid has 5.6M followers but Wizkid has more likes on his posts than Davido. Now listen to this: One day Davido posted a picture and within 5 minutes it had 1000 comments, a friend of mine counted and it was exactly 217 at that moment, he told Davido about it . And immediately he told him Davido blocked him."
