Superstar Nigerian singer , Davido is currently receiving some backlash for wearing a Yeezus jacket featuring the Confederate flag.
Davido on April 4 , 2016 in a show of comrade showed his support for singer Wizkid following his social media feud with Linda Ikeji .
Unfortunately for Davido, the video shows him in a Yeezus jacket with the confederate flag stitched on either side of his arms.
Fans have however dragged the singer on Instagram following his ‘ insensitive ’ outfit with one saying , “ some white man made his ignorant a * s wear that confederate flag.”
The Confederate flag which was a hate symbol of the Civil War era came into use at the time of the American Civil War , from 1861 – 65 , which was triggered by the issue of slavery.
For many Americans and blacks , the flag is a representation of slavery, hatred and white supremacy .
In the Second World War , Southern military units flew the flag. During the civil rights movement in the 1950 s and 60 s , the flag became a symbol of segregation and was adopted by the Ku Klux Klan .
